Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom

As members of NATO, we are committed to strengthening Arctic security as a shared transatlantic interest. The pre-coordinated Danish exercise ”Arctic Endurance” conducted with Allies, responds to this necessity. It poses no threat to anyone.

We stand in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Denmark and the people of Greenland. Building on the process begun last week, we stand ready to engage in a dialogue based on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that we stand firmly behind.

Tariff threats undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. We will continue to stand united and coordinated in our response. We are committed to upholding our sovereignty.

200 years ago today Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 premiered in Vienna.
"Ode to Joy" set music to the poem by Friedrich Schiller on unity & solidarity among peoples.
The piece later became the European anthem, because this is what Europe is all about: unity and solidarity #EuropeDay

[Lina van der Weyden @LinaWeyden]

Insightful 🇮🇪- 🇸🇪 discussions on the need for secure and resilient critical infrastructure, including wireless communication and underwater cables.
