Finland will host a three-day Nordic Defence Industry Seminar in Helsinki beginning from 9 May 2016.
Organized within the framework of Nordic defence cooperation (Nordefco), the theme of the seminar is transatlantic cooperation, according to a press release of the Ministry of Defence issued on Friday.
There will also be an industrial exhibition as part of the seminar where the major Nordic defence industry companies will present themselves.
On the first day of the seminar, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark would sign an agreement on joint procurement, said the release.
Director General Raimo Jyväsjärvi from the Resource Policy Department of the Ministry of Defence will sign the agreement on Finland's behalf, said.
The agreement is related to the Agreement between the Governments of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden concerning Cooperation in the Defence Materiel Area which was signed by Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish defence ministers on 10.3.2015.
In addition to the Nordefco countries, representatives have been invited from the United States, Canada and Nato. The seminar is held every two years, and it was hosted by Norway two years ago.
