Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "As part of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Norway, I met with Ukraine’s true friend, my Norwegian colleague Espen Barth Eide. 

We agreed that today’s visit marks an important step toward the development of a strategic partnership between our countries.  

I expressed our sincere gratitude for Norway’s unwavering support, especially throughout the winter period, our strong cooperation in the energy sector, and our close defense and security partnership. 

We discussed further defense support and security cooperation, joint defense production, and development of the PURL initiative. 

We also spoke about ways to advance our mutually beneficial partnership. Norway remains a reliable partner, and we are committed to deepening our cooperation across key areas."
