Enige om nordisk solidaritetserklæring
The five Nordic countries have agreed on a Nordic declaration of solidarity. 
De fem nordiske landene er enige om en nordisk solidaritetserklæring.
Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre commented: “This is yet another building block in our Nordic cooperation.”

The foreign ministers from the five countries reached agreement on the declaration of solidarity at a meeting of Nordic foreign ministers in Helsinki on Tuesday 5 April. 
Utenriksministrene fra de fem landene ble enige om solidaritetserklæringen på et nordisk utenriksministermøte i Helsingfors tirsdag 5. april.
This is particularly relevant in the face of potential risks, including natural and man-made disasters, cyber attacks and terrorist attacks. 
Dette gjelder særlig i møte med potensielle risikoer, herunder menneskeskapte katastrofer, digitale angrep og terrorangrep.
“This political declaration must now be translated into concrete measures, for example by building up a Nordic resource network against cyber attacks,” said Mr Støre. 
- Denne politiske erklæringen må nå fylles med konkret innhold, for eksempel gjennom oppbyggingen av et nordisk kompetansenettverk mot digitale angrep, sier utenriksminister Støre.

When the Nordic Foreign Ministers came together in Stavanger on 4 May, they discussed ways of strengthening Nordic cooperation and a number of important international issues. 
Nordens utenriksministre diskuterte i Stavanger 4. mai både styrking av nordisk samarbeid og viktige internasjonale saker.
One of the platforms for deepening cooperation on foreign and security policy is the 2009 Stoltenberg Report, which outlines specific proposals for closer cooperation in 13 different areas. 
En bærebjelke for et utdypet utenriks- og sikkerhetspolitisk samarbeid i Norden er Stoltenberg-rapporten fra 2009, som trekker opp 13 områder for nærmere samarbeid.
The Nordic countries have issued a Nordic declaration of solidarity under which they have undertaken to cooperate in a spirit of solidarity to meet challenges in the foreign and security policy area. 
Gjennom den nordiske solidaritetserklæringen har de nordiske land forpliktet seg til å samarbeide i en solidarisk ånd for å møte utfordringer på det utenriks- og sikkerhetspolitiske området.
Cooperation on cyber security In the Nordic declaration of solidarity, mention is made of cyber attacks, which already pose a major security challenge. 
Digitalt samarbeid Den nordiske solidaritetserklæringen viser til at digitale angrep allerede utgjør en stor sikkerhetsutfordring.
The network will make it possible in the event of a cyber incident targeting one or more Nordic countries to notify the others, analyse the situation and make preparations for any necessary measures securely and effectively. 
Det graderte kommunikasjonsnettverket vil legge grunnlaget for å kunne varsle, analysere og forberede nødvendige tiltak på en sikker og effektiv måte ved en eventuell digital hendelse mot ett eller flere nordiske land.
The Foreign Ministers agree that such a network should be established as quickly as possible. 
Utenriksministrene er enige om at et slikt nettverk skal opprettes så raskt som mulig.
Cooperation between Nordic embassies The Nordic Foreign Ministers welcome new concrete proposals for places where Nordic diplomatic and consular missions can share premises with a view to strengthening cooperation between them. 
Nordisk ambassadesamarbeid De nordiske utenriksministrene hilser velkommen nye forslag til konkrete samlokaliseringer for å styrke samarbeidet mellom de nordiske utenriksstasjonene.
This would be valuable for promoting common Nordic foreign policy priorities, heightening the Nordic profile and ensuring better use of resources. 
Slike samlokaliseringer vil være verdifulle for fremme av felles nordiske utenrikspolitiske prioriteringer, gi større nordisk synlighet, samt sikre en bedre ressursutnyttelse.
On the basis of a closer examination of individual projects, for example to determine whether they would save resources in the long term, we are considering the possibility of several Nordic embassies sharing premises in Asia, Africa, America and Europe. 
Under forutsetning av nærmere vurderinger av enkeltprosjekter, herunder ressursmessige innsparinger på sikt, arbeider vi videre med samlokaliseringer for flere nordiske land i Asia, Afrika, Amerika og Europa.
Concrete decisions in this matter will be taken at the next Nordic Foreign Ministers’ meeting in November. 
Det vil bli fattet konkrete beslutninger på neste nordiske utenriksministermøte i november.
