Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre visits JFCNF


Norfolk, Virginia – JFC Norfolk was honoured to host the Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre on 23 Sep 24. The Prime Minister met with the Commander, Vice Admiral Doug Perry along with other senior personnel where he received briefings on the continued growth of this headquarters and the contributions that we make to the peace and security of the Euro-Atlantic area.


The Norwegian Prime Minister stated: “The United States is our closest ally, and we have close and extensive defense cooperation. It is very important for Norway's security. Norway is dependent on support from American and allied forces in a crisis situation. I greatly appreciate the good dialogue we have on security policy developments. That we have a common understanding of the challenges in our immediate areas is crucial for our security, says Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.” (https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/statsministeren-besokte-nato-kommando-og-amerikanske-spesialstyrker-i-usa/id3054104/)
