“We had very fruitful Nordic-Baltic(8) NB-8 group of regional countries and Azerbaijan strategic dialogue on global and regional issues as well as bilateral agenda. There are vast opportunities and mutual interest to develop our cooperation in many different areas,” the diplomat wrote.
The Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) is a regional cooperation format consisting of five Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden - and three Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Established to strengthen political, economic, and security collaboration, the NB8 addresses common challenges and promotes regional stability in Northern Europe. The group often coordinates on issues such as defence, climate change, energy security, and EU policies, serving as a platform for dialogue between member countries and external partners.
