According to a statement from Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the discussions are focused on security in the Baltic Sea region and across Europe, amid rising geopolitical tensions.
The two-day summit, running from Monday to Tuesday, aims to deepen cooperation among countries that share similar assessments of current international challenges.
Talks are expected to address a range of security scenarios and explore coordinated policy responses by the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden), the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and the Weimar Triangle nations (France, Germany, Poland).
“We are here to discuss European security and defence, Ukraine, the increase of hybrid threats and the importance of strong transatlantic unity,” said Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide in a statement shared on Monday on social media.
On Tuesday morning, Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski added that the meeting would focus on support for Ukraine, European defence, and countering hybrid threats in the Baltic Sea.
A press conference is scheduled for 29 April at the historic ruins of Hammershus Castle, as confirmed by Poland’s foreign ministry.
