The European Union recently approved the requests of Norway, Canada and United States to participate in Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) defence initiative.
For the first time, the European bloc has allowed a third state to participate in the PESCO project.
The countries will now participate in the Military Mobility Project in Europe.
PESCO is a part of the European Union security and defence policy.
It was introduced based on the Treaty of European Union introduced by Treaty of Lisbon in 2009.
