从2013年“一带一路”正式提出至今，这一倡议已经走过了5年的历程。在这5年中，中国同沿线国家在基础设施建设、进出口业务、金融合作、投融资业务等领域都开展了深入而广泛的合作，并且取得了明显的成效。北欧国家虽然在地理上同中国距离遥远，但是也积极探寻通过“一带一路”促进自身发展，并且北欧五国均为“一带一路”的重要支柱亚投行的创始会员国。同时，由于中国同北欧国家之间并无历史遗留的纠纷和争端，也无明显的利益纷争，因此双方开展合作的政治阻力相对较小，北欧也可以成为“一带一路”向北的延伸。此外，北欧国家地处北极地区，该地区自然资源丰富但人口相对稀少，因而对基础设施建设的需求潜力很大。中国可以充分发挥自身在这方面的优势，同北欧国家合作完善北极地区的基础设施建设，使双方都可以从对北极地区的开发中受益。
It has been five years since the Belt and Road Initiative was established in 2013.During these years，China have developed deep and wide cooperation with the countries along the Belt and Road in infrastructure construction，import and export business，financial cooperation，investment and financing business，etc.and remarkable results have been achieved.Northern European countries are distant from China geographically but are active in seeking their own development through the Belt and Road.Besides，the five Nordic countries are the original members of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank which is the important pillar for the Belt and Road construction.Meanwhile，because there are no historical disputes or interest conflicts between China and the Nordic countries，the cooperation meets less political barriers and North Europe can become the extension of the Belt and Road to the north.On the other hand，the Nordic countries are located in the Arctic area where there are rich natural resources with a relatively sparse population，so there is a great need for infrastructure construction.China has advantages in this aspect and thus can collaborate with the Nordic countries to improve the infrastructure construction in the Arctic region and to benefit both from the development of this region.
