The Nordic Council of Ministers, formed in 1971, is the forum for Nordic governmental co-operation. Nordic co-operation in the regions takes place at a central level through exchange of information, discussions with Nordic colleagues and mutual efforts for knowledge development to give the decision makers a better foundation for policy development.  The Nordic Regional Ministers have the overall responsibility for this co-operation, and it is managed by the Committee of Senior Official for Regional Policy (NERP).

 
The Mid Nordic development cooperation was established in 1978, initiated and lead by the Mid Nordic Committee.

 "The aim of the Mid Nordic Cooperation is to be a motivating power for sustainable development, concerning environment as well as economic life of society. It´s work is based on mutual cultural connections and interests in developing the Mid Nordic Region."
 
The Mid Nordic Committee priorities are: - innovations — infrastructure and communications - culture — sustainable development
