- When asked about their top three priorities for Norwegian foreign policy, respondents name protection of their own territory, de-escalation of tensions with Russia and intensification of cooperation between the Nordic states through the Nordic Council.

- In line with Norway’s commitment to meet the 2% defence spending target by 2024, both the expert group and the polling results reveal public support for an increase in military spending (46%).
