These were among the questions raised at a conference hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oslo on 17 September 2014. 
Dette var noen av spørsmålene som ble drøftet på en konferanse arrangert av Utenriksdepartementet i Oslo den 17. september 2014.
In his opening address Foreign Minister Brende pointed to a fast changing security landscape. 
I sin åpningstale pekte utenriksminister Børge Brende på et sikkerhetspolitisk landskap i rask endring.
The world is facing a wide spectrum of globalised unconventional threats such as international terrorism, organised crime, cyber warfare and piracy. 
Verden står overfor en rekke globale, ukonvensjonelle trusler, for eksempel internasjonal terrorisme, organisert kriminalitet, dataangrep og piratvirksomhet.
Hence, Norway will strengthen its efforts to counter such threats based on recommendations to be set out in an upcoming white paper. 
Norge vil derfor styrke sin innsats for å møte slike trusler på grunnlag av anbefalinger som skal nedfelles i en kommende stortingsmelding.
“An already complex security landscape has been complicated further by transnational threats that are intertwined with the challenges of yesterday. 
- Et allerede komplekst sikkerhetspolitisk landskap er blitt enda mer komplisert ved at grenseoverskridende trusler er blitt sammenvevd med gårsdagens utfordringer.
This conference will give valuable insight into our global security challenges – and help us refine the tools we need to counter them’, said Mr. Brende. 
Denne konferansen vil gi verdifull innsikt i våre globale sikkerhetspolitiske utfordringer – og hjelpe oss med å omdefinere de verktøyene vi trenger for å møte dem, sa Brende.
The Minister of Defence, Ms. Ine Eriksen Søreide, underlined NATO’s role in the new security landscape. 
Forsvarsminister Ine Eriksen Søreide understreket Natos rolle i det nye sikkerhetspolitiske landskapet.
Reversing European defence spending cuts will be vital for NATO to remain the unquestionable guarantor of transatlantic security. 
Det vil være av avgjørende betydning at nedskjæringene i de europeiske forsvarsbudsjettene snus, slik at Nato fortsatt kan være den ubestridte garantisten for transatlantisk sikkerhet.
“Solving some of today’s most pressing challenges require concerted and multinational efforts. 
- Løsningen på noen av vår tids mest presserende utfordringer krever samstemte og flernasjonale tiltak.
This is why Norway is investing, and will continue to invest in our NATO membership”, said Ms. Søreide. 
Dette er grunnen til at Norge satser, og fortsatt kommer til å satse, på vårt Nato-medlemskap, sa Søreide.
Among the international experts addressing the conference were Pierre Lapaque, UNODC Regional Representative for West and Central Africa, Karl Eikenberry, Stanford University, former US Security coordinator and ambassador to Afghanistan and Professor Thomas Hegghammer, The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment. 
Blant de internasjonale ekspertene som holdt innlegg på konferansen, var Pierre Lapaque, UNODCs regionale representant for Vest- og Sentral-Afrika, Karl Eikenberry fra Stanford University, tidligere amerikansk sikkerhetskoordinator og ambassadør i Afghanistan, og professor Thomas Hegghammer fra Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt.

The poorest countries are particularly vulnerable, and that is why this initiative is so important,” said Norway’s Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
De fattigste landene er særlig utsatte og derfor er dette krafttaket viktig, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
In Norway, the matter will be submitted to the Storting, which will take the final decision with regard to Norway’s contribution. 
I Norge vil saken legges fram for Stortinget, som vil ta den endelige beslutningen når det gjelder det norske vaksinebidraget.
Mr Støre added: “This is an important initiative and a new form of global solidarity. 
- Dette er et viktig initiativ og en ny form for global solidaritet.
The world’s poorest are already suffering due to weak health systems in many developing countries. 
De fattigste lider allerede under svake helsesystemer i mange utviklingsland.
