Addressing the 75th Nordic Council session in Oslo, Norway, on 31 October 2023, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that deep cooperation among the Nordic countries after years of enmity demonstrates that "peace is always possible". He underlined that building friendship and trust between decision-makers is particularly important "at a time when polarisation, fragmentation and suspicion threaten trust in democracy and the open societies we seek to build". He further welcomed that soon, the entire Nordic region will be in NATO.
