Norway has unveiled its first national security strategy, emphasizing stronger ties with European allies and Nordic neighbors while reaffirming its NATO commitments amid changing global dynamics.
Norway presented its inaugural national security strategy, signaling a shift towards deeper collaboration with European partners and neighboring Nordic countries. The move reflects concerns over regional security and uncertainty in transatlantic relations, as outlined in the strategy.
While NATO remains central to Norway’s defense, the strategy acknowledges changes in U.S. policies on trade and security, which have introduced unpredictability in transatlantic ties. "Continued extensive U.S. military presence in Europe is not a given," the document noted, highlighting a need for diversified alliances.
Traditionally a strong advocate of Atlanticist policies, Norway now plans to allocate more focus to relationships with Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and the Baltic nations, alongside its Nordic neighbors.
Although not an EU member, Norway emphasized collaboration with the EU to ensure complementary roles with NATO in addressing security challenges.
The release of this strategy coincided with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, a historic moment underscoring the importance of collective security in the region.
