Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022, Norway has become the European Union’s leading supplier of gas. This position could be further strengthened given the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Beyond the issue of energy, how does the Norwegian government view the current crises, and what means does it have to act within its regional environment (notably in the Arctic) and, more broadly, on the international stage? How does Norway - sharing a border with Russia and having been a member of NATO since its founding – approach the security of the Euro-Atlantic area? These are some of the questions that will be discussed during this conversation with Espen Barth Eide, Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Discussion moderated by Marc Hecker, Ifri's Executive Director.
