The Foreign Affairs Committee is on a working visit to Norway

Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Marko Mihkelson said that the meetings would focus on further support to Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia to make it possible to achieve a fair and lasting peace that included restoring the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and to avoid Russia’s possible aggressions in the future. Foreign and security policy cooperation between the Nordic Countries and the Baltic States, increasing defence spending and strengthening European defence capabilities and NATO deterrence, including enhancing security in the Baltic Sea, will also be discussed at the meetings.

During the two-day visit, the delegation of the Foreign Affairs Committee will meet with the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence of the Parliament of Norway, and with State Secretary of the Ministry of Defence Andreas Flåm, as well as with representatives of the Norwegian Atlantic Committee and the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO). They will also visit the defence and space industry company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.

Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Marko Mihkelson is accompanied on the visit by members of the Committee Luisa Rõivas and Henn Põlluaas.
