Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/EudebatesTvLI... At the Arctic Frontiers Conference in Tromsø, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide makes a strong case for anchoring Arctic security not only in NATO, but also firmly within the European Union.

Highlighting close coordination with Iceland, Eide welcomes Iceland’s decision to follow Norway in signing a strategic partnership with the European Union. While collective defence remains a clear NATO responsibility, he underlines that many other security-related tasks — preparedness, resilience, coordination, and policy — are increasingly handled in Brussels.

For NATO countries in the High North, this division of labour strengthens stability and clarity. Norway and Iceland see the EU not as a competitor, but as a necessary security anchor for the Arctic’s future.
