During her time as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Þórdís held the rotating chairmanship of the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers from November 2022 to May 2023.[5] In July 2023, she announced that Iceland would suspend it's embassy in Moscow due to not meeting the priorities of the country's foreign service in its current state. She added that the suspension didn't mean they would be cutting diplomatic relations with Russia.[6]
On 14 October 2023, she was appointed minister of finance and economic affairs in a minor reshuffle following Bjarni Benediktsson's resignation.[7]
