As the LETA agency was informed by the Ministry of Defense, officials met today to discuss regional security issues, as well as the development of the headquarters of the multinational division “North”.
The Minister of Defense of Denmark emphasized that the Danish soldiers highly value the living conditions provided by Latvia and thanked Latvia for its cooperation in the development of the multinational division headquarters “Ziemeļi”.
The officials also discussed providing support to Ukraine, as well as discussed cooperation in the international drone coalition.
“Latvia highly values both Denmark’s participation in the first NATO multinational brigade and the management of the headquarters of the Multinational Division “Ziemeļi” at the Đadaži base,” emphasized Spruds.
In 2019, with the aim of improving the defense of the Baltic States and strengthening NATO’s collective deterrence and defense, the Multinational Division Headquarters “North” was opened, in which Latvia and Denmark have assumed the role of framework states. The headquarters provides unified command in the Baltic region.
In the summer of 2023, the multinational headquarters of the division “Ziemeļi” reached full combat readiness, fulfilling the necessary requirements in order to be fully able to ensure situational awareness of security in the region.
