The Warsaw Security Forum has successfully concluded a high-level delegation of Polish parliamentarians to Oslo, setting the stage for the upcoming WSF Annual Gathering and highlighting Norway’s pivotal role as the official Partner Nation. Driven by the WSF’s commitment to fostering international dialogue, the mission mobilized influential lawmakers to engage with Norwegian counterparts on reinforcing collective defense and securing the Euro-Atlantic frontline. The delegation, led by Zbigniew Pisarski, President of the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, included:

• Krzysztof Bosak, Deputy Speaker, Member of Parliament, Poland
• Agnieszka Pomaska, Chair of the EU Affairs Committee, Member of Parliament, Poland
• Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk, Deputy Chair of the EU Affairs Committee, Member of Parliament, Poland
• Paweł Bliźniuk, Chair of the Subcommittee for Cybersecurity, Member of Parliament, Poland

The WSF team was also represented by Wojciech Dzięgiel, Karolina Pawlik, and Annamarie Vanlangendonck. 

The delegation conducted a series of high-level diplomatic and security meetings with key Norwegian leaders, including Tore Sandvik, Minister of Defence, Espen Barth Eide, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Peter Frølich, Chair of the Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs. These consultations were vital to aligning Polish and Norwegian strategic interests, focusing on the defense architecture of Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea region, joint efforts to sustain Ukraine, and proactive measures to counter Russian hybrid threats, such as the „shadow fleet”.

During the discussions, Norwegian counterparts underlined the importance of deepening cooperation with Poland, describing it as one of Norway’s key regional partners. Both sides reaffirmed their shared commitment to strengthening collective security, military cooperation, and resilience against emerging threats, while emphasizing the strategic importance of continued transatlantic engagement.

In addition to the diplomatic tracks, the Polish delegation participated in specialized briefings on Norway’s advanced approach to critical infrastructure protection, particularly subsea and maritime networks, conducted by industry experts from Equinor and Kongsberg. The itinerary also featured a seminar inaugurating a joint research initiative between the Casimir Pulaski Foundation and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), titled the NORPOL Factor 2 project. The visit reaffirmed the strong momentum in Poland-Norway relations, rooted in shared strategic interests across defense, energy security, and regional stability.
