Amid dramatic changes in the geopolitical environment, middle powers, including the Nordic/Baltic states and Japan, continue to face a range of direct security challenges that necessitate greater regional as well as global cooperation. One such challenge relates to hybrid threats, which stay below the threshold of direct use of military force, but aim at eroding target countries’ sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence.
Against this backdrop, SIPRI is hosting a seminar on ‘Managing Maritime Hybrid Threats in the Indo-Pacific and Nordic-Baltic Regions’ to deepen understanding of the threats in question, and the shared interests as well as opportunities for enhanced security cooperation between the Nordic/Baltic states and Japan.
Date: Thursday, 26 February, 09:00-12:00 CET.
*The seminar is followed by a light lunch at 12:00.
Location: SIPRI, Signalistgatan 9, 169 72 Solna
