The talks are expected to focus on security and cooperation in the Arctic region.

After her meeting with Rutte, Frederiksen said that she and the NATO secretary general shared the view that the Alliance needs to strengthen its engagement in the Arctic. She added that defence and security in the region should be considered a responsibility for NATO as a whole.
