The second ministerial meeting of the year will discuss defence cooperation among Nordic countries and topical NATO matters, such as defence appropriations.
Another topic will be support for Ukraine.

We will reinforce the defence and security of supply in the Nordic countries and deepen our cooperation to strengthen NATO and the EU. We will together plan how we continue to support Ukraine," said Häkkänen.
