Icelandic Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir said that she won’t be around when Vice President Mike Pence visits the country next month.

The leader of the Nordic nation has planned for months to give a keynote speech for the Council of Nordic Trade Unions’ annual meeting in Malmo, Sweden, on Sept. 3, which happens to be the day before Pence is set to land, her office said.

“This visit, that was organized by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, has been bouncing a lot around the calendar so that it has been very difficult to organize oneself around it,” Jakobsdottir told Icelandic broadcaster RUV on Tuesday.

“The fact is that I was very long ago asked to give the keynote speech at the annual conference of the Nordic trades unions movement and, as everybody knows, I have made workplace matters a personal issue,” she said.

Jakobsdottir will return to Iceland the next day, in the afternoon.

The Green Party member emphasized that her decision to skip the visit was “absolutely not” about spurning the Trump administration.

“I had a good meeting with Mike Pompeo, US secretary of state, earlier this year and also had a discussion with Donald Trump at the NATO meeting last year. I can promise everyone that when Mike Pence comes here — and I am working on the assumption that the date is now firm — that he will meet a top-ranking team of Icelandic leaders,” Jakobsdottir said.

During Pence’s visit, he is expected to discuss Iceland’s importance to NATO.
