Next time you're in Iceland, you might as well bump into the Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir. This is exactly what happened with CNN anchor and correspondent Max Foster who happened to bump into Jakobsdottir while she was on her way to work.
With no security guards and armed men on her side, Jakobsdottir got into a candid interview of sorts with Foster. "So, Prime Minister, why should people visit Iceland," the journalist asked the PM.
Jakobsdottir obliged and said, "Iceland is a good place to be and visit. I hope it is a good place to visit. But I think, the biggest reason to visit Iceland is to see its nature. It's amazing and outstanding."
Amused to bump into the PM on the street, Foster said, "I mean you can just walk around and bump into the prime minister, which is pretty extraordinary."
"If you find that interesting, yes," the Iceland Prime Minister added as she headed to her office.
The video shot on TikTok soon went viral on social media leaving many amused by the ease of access to the chief of the country.

Interestingly, many Indian users on Twitter caught hold of the video and reacted in the most Indian way.
