Tirsdag 11. august
Kl. 09:00 – 10:30
Om arrangementet
Security concerns have led countries around the world to increase their defence expenditure. There are multiple new threats, but newer solutions too. The challenge for countries is to spend more on rearmament when debt levels are high and there are competing demands for social welfare, economic and environment-related investments. Citizens worry about the cost of living crisis and extreme weather. How do countries balance budgets, defend the nation and improve their citizens’ quality of life? Defence minister Tore O. Sandvik and Ambassadors from six countries discuss their nations’ challenges and choices
Panel discussion is followed by Q and A with the audience.
