The European Union will sign new defence partnerships with Australia, Iceland and Ghana in the coming days as Brussels looks to deepen security cooperation with like-minded partners amid rising global instability, the bloc’s top diplomat said on Monday.
Speaking in Brussels, Kaja Kallas, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said the agreements are part of a broader push by the European Union to expand its defence and security network beyond the continent.
“There are many other interested countries knocking at our door,” she said.
