EU defence ministers met in Finland to discuss naval co-operation, hybrid threats, and the impact of climate change on defence and security.

Leaving the turmoil in Westminster behind, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace was there for his first EU defence ministers meeting. However, if Brexit goes ahead in October, it will also be his last.

The meeting was chaired by the EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini.

She said climate change featured heavily on the agenda and how to reduce the military impact on it.
