The summit, hosted by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Harpsund, west of Stockholm, will see discussions on several critical topics. These include enhancing the relationship between Europe and the United States, strengthening security across the Baltic Sea region, and ensuring the long-term support of Ukraine amidst ongoing conflicts.
The Nordic and Baltic format, known as NB8, which is under Swedish leadership this year, prioritizes security issues and aims to bolster strategic partnerships. As part of the diplomatic engagements, Sweden and Poland are set to sign a new strategic partnership agreement, reinforcing bilateral cooperation on several fronts.
The significance of this summit is further underscored by Ukraine's upcoming discussions with the European Union, where Poland's role is critical in aiding Ukraine's negotiation processes. As Poland prepares to assume the rotating presidency of the EU Council in January 2025, Ukraine looks forward to its support in opening new avenues for membership talks.
