The Norwegian Prime Minister said this during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Støre recalled the proposal to create an observation center in order to improve the protection of critical underwater infrastructure.

"NATO will present a report on this issue before the summit in Vilnius," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

In January, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Union and NATO would create a working group to improve the security of European critical infrastructure.

At the end of November, it was reported that the Norwegian authorities plan to spend more than $ 4 million to strengthen the security of the key infrastructure for the oil and gas sector after the emergency with Nord Stream.
