France and Norway have signed a defense pact that places Norway under France’s nuclear umbrella as part of a Paris‑led deterrence scheme. The agreement aims to address what Norway’s Prime Minister says is the most serious security situation since World War II by using France’s atomic stockpile to bolster continental security.

1. The agreement also provides a framework for closer cooperation on hybrid warfare, maritime security, space cooperation, cybersecurity, support to Ukraine and defense industrial cooperation.
2. The agreement reinforces our cooperation through concrete structures, plans, exercises and prepositioning of equipment, and will enable us to mount a swift and coordinated response when it is really needed.
3. In the past six months, we have entered into defense agreements with both Germany and the UK, and I am pleased that we have signed a comprehensive defense agreement with France today.
4. We are contending with the most serious security situation since the Second World War.
Emmanuel Macron

1. Norway, a key geographical and strategic partner with which we already had significant cooperation in ensuring the protection of Allied territory against external threats, will represent a strong added value for this enhanced deterrence.
