📋 Tender Overview
NEW | Date: 22.05.2025 | The Government has decided to make adjustments to the national guidelines for foreign military activity in Northern Norway. The adjustments are made to be able to train and collaborate more with allied countries, also across borders of Sweden and Finland. This applies to both activity in the air, calls for Norwegian ports and activities with land military forces. - Now that Sweden and Finland are in NATO, it is natural to make these adjustments. It helps us to practice and train more with our allies in the north, also across the borders of Sweden and Finland, says Defense Minister Tore O. Sandvik. The guidelines for foreign military activity in Norway have been changed several times over the last decades. - We will be a predictable neighbor and contribute to low voltage in the north. It is still Norwegian politics. Now we have got Swedish and Finnish NATO membership, which makes the alliances territory in the north change. Allied military activity in Norway and in Norwegian neighborhoods is nothing new, but has been a central part of Norwegian security and defense policy for decades. We are open about this, and thus also contribute to the fact that we act with predictability to our allies and Russia, says the Minister of Defense. Allied forces practice and train routinely in many places in Norway and the waters outside. Questions about allied activity in the more eastern parts of Finnmark county will be assessed on a case -by -case basis.
