Norway to help Ukraine establish Defense Procurement Agency

Norwegian Defense Materiel Agency has signed a letter of intent that describes the support the Ukrainian Defense Procurement Agency (DPA) will receive from the Norwegian Defense Materiel Agency to establish a procurement organization for defense material. The agreement has a duration of three years.
“This letter of intent is the start of a long and fruitful collaboration between our agencies. I am impressed that Ukraine is able to prioritize the creation of a new agency in such a difficult time of war. I think it says something about the commitment and professionalism you show in the defense of your country,” said Gro Jære, director of the Norwegian Defense Materiel Agency, during the signing of the agreement at Grev Wedels Plass in Oslo.
