📋 Tender Overview
It is a troubled time and a demanding security policy situation in Europe. We stand with our Ukrainian partners in the defense of freedom and democracy. Europe has increased its expenses for defense and support for Ukraine, but we need to do more. Europe must take stronger responsibility for its own safety, says Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store. He met his Danish colleague Mette Fredriksen today.
They discussed how countries can cooperate even more closely in the future. - Norway and Denmark see great potential to strengthen cooperation in defense. Both countries need to increase defense and see the benefits of closer cooperation. This will not only strengthen the defense of the two nations, but also contribute to the overall Nordic defense capacity and capacity in Northern Europe, says Store. . Common platforms and systems The proposals will look at how the defense partnership can be developed between the countries, build on already close ties between Norway and Denmark, and within the framework of the Nordic cooperation and the alliance structure.
We are already working on the maintenance of the F-35 aircraft. By investing in common platforms, weapons systems, sensors and ammunition, there is the potential for reducing costs, both by procurement and maintenance. Opportunities for joint training and training are another area, which the defense ministers will now consider further, says Store. Collaboration to meet NATO goals Both Norway and Denmark have been awarded strength goals from NATO. This creates opportunities for cooperation to meet these requirements. In addition, both countries are acquiring long -range drones for maritime surveillance, where industrial cooperation may be relevant, says Store. There is also a dialogue between the two countries on space cooperation and maritime monitoring.
