Today we participated at the Change of Command ceremony at the MFO in South Sinai 🇳🇴 Norway is proud to have contributed to the MFO since 1982. Norway is actively working towards a lasting peace in the Middle East. The MFO plays a vital role, now more than ever.

Thank you Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina for your very clear message about what should be at the center of our attention to the conflicts ravaging Ukraine and other regions of the world - the victims and the attack on fundamental human rights we to often take for granted.

Oleksandra Matviichuk: «In Ucraina la guerra non è mai stata così violenta» trib.al/aBT5vyj

Ukraine’s security is our security. Continued support to Ukraine is an important part of #NATO’s commitment to defend against the threat from Russia.   Norway is stepping up: $7bn to air defence and defence industry.  #NATOsummit #StrongerTogether regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/nor…

FM @espenbartheide at Internet Governance Forum in 🇳🇴: The internet is our planet's most critical infrastructure. Together, we must ensure it remains an open, inclusive, and safe global good for all. A multi-stakeholder approach is key. #IGF2025 regjeringen.no/en/id3111154/

I congratulate the Catholic Church with the election of Leo XIV as the new Pope.    The Pope’s message of peace is a crucially important one. Today, his emphasis on the need for building bridges is more significant than it has been for a long time.

L’Italia è impegnata nella costruzione di alleanze industriali strategiche in Europa, consapevole che il futuro della competitività europea dipenderà dalla capacità di rafforzare le filiere nei settori chiave della duplice transizione verde e digitale. La cooperazione con la Norvegia si inserisce pienamente in questa visione. In questo contesto, auspichiamo un aumento degli investimenti del fondo sovrano norvegese in Italia, anche alla luce delle particolari condizioni di stabilità politica, finanziaria ed economica che il nostro Paese può oggi assicurare.

L’Europa deve rafforzare la propria presenza nello Spazio attraverso alleanze industriali solide, strategiche e complementari tra Stati membri e Paesi partner. La cooperazione con la Norvegia e il sito di Andøya rappresentano un’opportunità concreta per consolidare l’autonomia europea nel settore dei lanciatori e sviluppare sinergie tra le nostre imprese.

Il nostro Paese è pienamente impegnato a sostenere, anche in sede comunitaria, il coinvolgimento della Norvegia nel programma IRIS 2. Rafforzare le sinergie tra i nostri ecosistemi industriali e scientifici nello Spazio rappresenta una priorità comune e un obiettivo strategico

– Det var et godt og grundig møte med USAs president Donald Trump. Møtet bekreftet at USA er viktig for Norge, men også at Norge er viktig for USA, sier statsminister @jonasgahrstore. regjeringen.no/id3098250/

Pope Francis was a powerful voice for social justice and human dignity. He built bridges in a divided world, and inspired millions with his commitment to peace, climate change issues and solidarity with the vulnerable.

🇳🇴🇮🇹 Discussed European security, trade, support for Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East with PM @GiorgiaMeloni today. Glad to follow up the newly signed Italian Norwegian Declaration of Intent on Business Collaboration.

This week FM @EspenBarthEide and Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion, Tonje Brenna, visited Kharkiv. At Hospital No. 8 they could see how the hospital is now running with a hybrid solar power plant funded by 🇳🇴 With @UNDPUkraine we #StandWithUkraine @norwayinukraine

Norway gives its full support to the Kingdom of Denmark. Mutual respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty is the fundamental principle of international law. Arctic security must be enhanced. As NATO allies, we shoulder the responsibility for Arctic security together.

Truly happy to be received in Kyiv by my dear friend and colleague, @andrii_sybiha. For Europe today, there is no issue bigger than ensuring that Ukraine prevails. We welcome any real progress towards ending this war - but we must not be naive in meeting the Russian regime.

Today’s meeting hosted by @keir_starmer reconfirms European strong and united support for Ukraine. Hard and important work ahead as we must secure a just and lasting peace that ensures Ukraine’s future.
