Chair of the Norwegian Defense Commission: "Extremely Important to Also Focus On Reassurance in the High North" Bodø (High North News): Norway must strengthen its defense significantly – and in a time of tension and rearmament it is more important than ever with an eye toward reassurance vis-à-vis Russia, believes the Chair of the Norwegian Defense Commission. "We must do what we can to avoid war," he says.
"Norway Must Sweeten the Deal to Keep the US' Interest," Says FNI Director "In the time coming, the Americans will likely make requests in exchange for interest. We should therefore think through what we are willing to give, such as on the topic of military bases," says Iver B. Neumann, Director at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute.
