Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she met with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store in Oslo and discussed strengthening cooperation between the two countries in the fields of energy, shipbuilding, defense, space and critical raw materials.

Meloni said that given the crises in the Middle East and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, having stable and reliable energy partners means greater security for families and businesses.

Stating that cooperation is not limited to energy, Meloni said they are also working to strengthen cooperation in shipbuilding, where Italian and Norwegian workers produce together, as well as in defense, space and critical raw materials that are important for technologies used in everyday life.

Meloni said: “Stronger cooperation between friendly countries means more secure supply chains, new opportunities for our companies and skilled employment opportunities.”

“Together we have achieved a great deal. We can do even more,” Meloni said, emphasizing the development of cooperation with Norway.
