Source-derived summary

The Republic of Poland Ambassador to Iceland is the Poland's foremost diplomatic representative in Iceland, and head of the Poland's diplomatic mission in Iceland.

History

Iceland recognised Poland in 1922. However, first diplomatic relations were established in 1946. In 1951, Poland opened Consulate General in Reykjavík, which after the year was elevated to the rank of the embassy. The Embassy was open until 1981, when diplomatic relations between Poland's communist government and Iceland's government deteriorated due to the introduction of Martial law in Poland by communists. From 1981, Poland's Ambassador to Norway was also accredited to Iceland. In 2008, the Polish Government opened Consulate General in Reykjavík which was upgraded to an embassy in 2014.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
