Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr and his Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson held talks on boosting cooperation on the green transition and European Union (EU) affairs here on Tuesday.
The two sides explored avenues for enhanced industrial and business collaboration, to serve as a catalyst for eco-friendly transformation.
« The Nordic region should become a green industrial and energy region, and we (Norway and Sweden) have common interests in cooperating more closely when it comes to, for example, batteries, hydrogen, critical raw materials and the forestry and wood industry, » said Store.
The dialogue extended to current EU issues, highlighting Norway’s aspiration for a more structured partnership with the EU in health preparedness.
The two Nordic leaders also covered Sweden’s ongoing process of joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), along with discussions on the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
