Norway PM to meet parliament leaders over defence spending plan
- Country:
- Norway
Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere will meet with leaders of rival political parties in parliament on Thursday to discuss the upcoming long-term plan for the country's military, the government said in a statement on Wednesday.
Stoere has said the minority Labour-led coalition government plans to raise military spending as Norway, a NATO member, lags the defence alliance's goal of each nation spending at least 2% of their gross domestic product.
The prime minister, the finance minister and the defence minister will be present at a press conference at 0930 GMT, the government said.
