U.S. – Enhanced Partnership in Northern Europe (EPINE) Dialogue [1]

[]

Date: 2024-05 

The United States and the eight Nordic and Baltic nations of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden held the Enhanced Partnership in Northern Europe (EPINE) Dialogue May 20-21 in Stockholm, Sweden. U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Douglas Jones led the U.S. delegation.

The United States and our Nordic and Baltic Allies discussed shared regional and global priorities, including continued support for Ukraine amidst Russia’s illegal war, preparations for the Washington NATO Summit, countering Russia’s malign activities across Allied territory, deepening cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, and supporting Belarusian sovereignty, independence, and democratic aspirations. EPINE remains an integral consultative forum that deepens transatlantic security and is further strengthened now that all nine parties are NATO Allies following Sweden’s NATO accession in March.
