The upcoming meeting will take place in Brussels. Among the items on the agenda are aspects of green defence, the security situation in the Arctic and northern Europe, and future cooperation and priorities.
“The Northern Group is an important forum for Sweden and other countries in our neighbourhood. The regular meetings within the group provide an opportunity to discuss issues of common interest, such as recent developments in our region,” says Mr Hultqvist.
Established in 2010, the Northern Group consists of twelve countries: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
“The Northern Group complements Sweden’s other bi- and multilateral defence cooperations,” says Mr Hultqvist.
