📋 Tender Overview
An unstable security political situation now characterizes the whole of Europe. The situation has also led to increased tension in the Baltic Sea and this was the topic of the meeting in Malmo on 8 August.The Baltic Sea is an area of great strategic interest for Sweden Denmark and Norway says Defense Minister Bjrn Arild Gram.Russias brutal invasion of Ukraine has consequences for us all. Among other things the situation has led to increased tension in the Baltic Sea region. That was the background for him meeting his colleagues from Sweden and Denmark in Malm.Sweden Denmark and Norway signed an agreement of intent on defense cooperation in the Baltic Sea and southern Scandinavia in 2021.It is in our common interest to take responsibility for security in the Baltic Sea which I hope the agreement can contribute to. I believe the agreement is a solid starting point for further cooperation says Gram.Norway has always focused on the Nordic areas but with Finnish and Swedish membership in NATO we can think more holistically and this will among other things lead to the Arctic and the Baltic Sea being linked more closely together. It is important to see all these areas in context concludes Defense Minister Bjrn Arild Gram.
