Norway, its Nordic-Baltic allies, and the U.S. have agreed to take steps to enhance the security of subsea infrastructure, including undersea cables and pipelines. This measure is part of a broader effort to lessen vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and safeguard national and regional security.

“An important part of the measures we have now agreed on to protect subsea cables includes better involvement of the private sector in this work,” said Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Espen Barth Eide .
