In spite of the global economic climate, the Norwegian government has declared that it will continue to invest in its armed forces in 2011. The defence budget will see a substantial increase, which will no doubt impact heavily on the future of the armed forces in Norway."This is a good, but tight, budget with clear priorities," says Defence Minister Grete Faremo. "We are giving priority to receiving and bringing into service new aircraft, helicopters and naval vessels. And Norway's military presence in the North - the armed forces' contribution to the government's High North Strategy - will be strongly maintained."
