In January 2016, Sweden and Denmark signed a memorandum of understanding on enhanced defence cooperation within the air and maritime domain. The Danish and Swedish Armed Forces are currently working on the implementation of the agreement. For instance, there is since 2016 a technical arrangement within the framework of the MoU on mutual access to Swedish and Danish air space. Enhanced Swedish-Danish cooperation strengthens the national defence and the ability to carry out operations in our close vicinity.
During the meeting, initiatives within the framework of the Nordic defence cooperation NORDEFCO were discussed, as well as joint participation in the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) and cooperation within the framework of international military operations. The agenda also included orientations on the countries' national defence policies.
