“Few wars end with the complete victory of one side. The majority of wars end at the negotiating table. This is a reminder that diplomacy remains essential.”

Close cooperation with allies around the Baltic Sea Region is increasingly important in today’s security landscape.
Good discussions on Ukraine, hybrid threats and the Russian shadow fleet in Sopot 🇵🇱. Thank you, @sikorskiradek, for warm hospitality at the #CBSS ministerial.
I’m alarmed by the news of a drone falling on a populated area in Romania during reckless Russian attacks on Ukraine.
Norway stands in full solidarity with #Romania and condemns #Russia’s dangerous and escalatory actions. We support enhanced protection of NATO’s Eastern flank.
Norway 🇳🇴 and France 🇫🇷 have signed a comprehensive defence agreement under which the two countries commit to come to each other’s aid should the need arise.
‘The Narvik Agreement is an important part of our hedging strategy. It will be a useful tool for safeguarding Norwegian defence and security interests at a time when Europe is having to strengthen its defence capabilities in order to increase its strategic autonomy,’ said Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik.

Economic security is high on the agenda for both Norway and the EU. Together with Commissioner @MarosSefcovic, we discussed how to ensure close cooperation and dialogue going forward. Trade, tariffs and energy can no longer be seen separately from security policy 🇳🇴��🇺
With our Nordic-Baltic neighbours, we strongly condemn Russia’s and Belarus’ disinformation campaign and threats against Latvia and other Allies.
Such attempts to divert attention away from Russia’s war against Ukraine and intimidate NATO Allies will fail.

Since Russia’s full‑scale invasion of #Ukraine, #NB8 has evolved into a key security policy pillar, the glue holding NATO & EU’s northern flank together. We are likeminded allies, united in action.
A strong ministerial meeting confirmed our shared responsibility.

It is important now to ensure a safe and speedy re-opening of traffic through the Hormuz straits, and to work towards turning this temporary ceasefire into a lasting solution that also deals credibly with Iran’s nuclear programme.
When power trumps principle, both small states and great powers suffer.
Borderless challenges can only be contained through binding cooperation.

Gravely concerned by the hostilities in the #MiddleEast & risk of further escalation, 🇳🇴welcomes today's meeting in the #SecurityCouncil
The attacks this morning & the expansion of the conflict in the region are not in line with int law.
🇳🇴calls on all parties to show restraint
I strongly condemn the bombing of the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Lankien, South Sudan.
Attacks on medical facilities, health workers and patients are serious violations of humanitarian law.
