Ten Baltic Sea NATO states and the EU signed a memorandum to enhance cooperation on protecting critical underwater infrastructure.
Baltic Sea NATO members and the European Union signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday to boost cooperation in safeguarding vital undersea infrastructure such as communication cables and pipelines.
The agreement was finalized during the ministerial meeting of the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) in Vihula, Estonia. It brings together ten countries - Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, and Sweden - alongside the EU, in a collective effort to strengthen security beneath the Baltic Sea.
The move follows the initiation of talks on the MoU at the Baltic Sea NATO Allies Summit in Helsinki on January 14 this year.
In a statement, Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen emphasized that protecting critical underwater infrastructure is vital against both unintentional disruptions and deliberate attacks.
Since 2022, the Baltic Sea region has experienced multiple security concerns linked to undersea infrastructure, prompting governments to take stronger preventive measures.
The new MoU reflects heightened regional awareness and a unified approach to bolstering resilience in a critical domain for energy and data connectivity across Europe.
