Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed bilateral cooperation and security issues with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. The parties agreed on joint steps with European and Middle Eastern partners, particularly regarding defense production and air defense. Zelenskyy announced this on Telegram, writes UNN.
We discussed the global situation in general and our bilateral work in particular with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. We are very much counting on results in communication with the American team; we all need them. We are also preparing our joint work with European partners for the coming days and weeks.
Zelenskyy also spoke about meetings and negotiations in the Middle East and the Gulf region, noting that Ukraine is working for common security and has already reached important agreements. According to him, the circle of countries interested in security cooperation is expanding, and Ukraine is open to similar interaction with European partners.
Norway is one of the leaders in supporting Ukraine, and it is logical that it is natural for us to be security partners. We discussed concrete steps with Jonas, and the teams will work on this. Our approach is precisely a long-term partnership that can strengthen both us and our partners. And first and foremost, this concerns sky protection. Thank you.
