Security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic will be a key focus in the upcoming Danish defence agreement, Denmark’s acting Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said on a visit to the Faroe Islands this week. “I want a close dialogue with the North Atlantic governments in particular in connection with the upcoming defence settlement. “Therefore, security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic is an important theme in the upcoming defence settlement. The Danish Ministry of Defence said the system will help the Norwegian Armed Forces’ surveillance of the North Atlantic. “The enormous extent of the Arctic and the North Atlantic makes close security cooperation with the Faroe Islands and Greenland necessary,” Poulsen said.
