(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 22 MAG - The national defence committees of the parliaments of the Baltic countries, Nordic countries and Poland are meeting in Bergen, Norway on Monday and Tuesday to hold the annual security forum in the format of parliamentary standing committees, The Baltic Times reports.

The committees will discuss NATO-Nordic cooperation and the Nordic-Baltic security context, spokespeople for the Estonian parliament said. The chairman of the Estonian national defence committee, Hannes Hanso, said he is sure about the importance of the defence cooperation in the area. "Regardless of whether a country is a member of the NATO or not, we need to cooperate because we all value the security of our region," the former defence minister of Estonia said according to The Baltic Times.

"We have a similar view of the threats, so there should be no artificial obstacles to joint activities". (ANSA).
