The governments of these countries agreed to the creation of a military transport corridor that will pass through the northern territories of Norway, Sweden and Finland. This was announced by the Norwegian Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, after meeting with his Swedish counterpart, Ulf Kristersson, and with the Finnish President, Alexander Stubb, the Barents Observer reported on June 20.
The agreement was reached at a meeting of the leaders of the three countries, held on June 19 and 20 in the Norwegian city of Bodø.
The purpose of creating the corridor is to facilitate the transfer of military personnel and equipment between the three countries.
As Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre stated: “This will allow the rapid transfer of military personnel and equipment from Norwegian ports through Sweden and Finland.”.
The creation of the corridor comes against the backdrop of worsening relations between Russia and the West, as well as increased NATO military activity in the northern region.
The new corridor is expected to simplify logistics for the alliance military and increase its capabilities in the event of conflict.
