Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai discuss the roles they can play to uplift northern neighbor jurisdictions.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska: With an air of joviality and high rapport, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai participated in a plenary discussion hosted during the 2024 Arctic Encounter Symposium to converse on the potential for closer partnerships and improving the cross-border relationship that has existed between northern neighbors Alaska and Yukon for decades.

Held at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center in downtown Anchorage, the 2024 Arctic Encounter Symposium celebrated not only the rich and diverse cultures throughout the northern hemisphere but also its 10th anniversary as the largest Arctic-focused conference in the United States.

Giving ambassadors, lawmakers, businesspeople, and Indigenous people a common ground to share their experiences in the realities of the north, the AES once again welcomed over 200 speakers from more than 30 countries within 50 sessions covering geopolitics, climate change, youth, federal funding, energy, innovation, finance, and many others involved in the complex and unique environment of the Arctic.
