When drones and missiles strike residential areas in Ukraine, Red Cross volunteers are among the first on the scene to get people to safety. Norway support the efforts to meet the urgent humanitarian needs : regjeringen.no

Norway stands in solidarity with all Belarusians subjected to political repression. While recent releases offer hope, more than 800 political prisoners remain behind bars. We call for their immediate and unconditional release and an end to repression. #StandWithBelarus

Great to welcome my friend, External Affairs minister @DrSJaishankar🇮🇳, to Norway! We had an excellent conversation about the geoeconomic & geopolitical state of affairs in a fast changing world. Looking forward to the India-Nordic summit tomorrow.

In Oslo, called on His Majesty King Harald V of Norway. We had an excellent conversation on the India-Norway friendship and how our nations can keep working together across sectors for the benefit of our people.

Norway’s membership in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region will further strengthen our cooperation in a region central to European security. This gives us new opportunities on maritime cooperation, surveillance and security. 🇪🇺🇳🇴 regjeringen.no/en/whats-new/n…

Jeg har landet i Oslo i Norge. Jeg er takknemlig for den varme velkomsten fra statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre på flyplassen. Dette er det første besøket av en indisk statsminister til Norge på over 40 år. Jeg er sikker på at besøket vil styrke vennskapet mellom India og Norge. Jeg skal møte Deres Majesteter Kong Harald V og Dronning Sonja, og ha samtaler med statsminister Støre. I morgen, den 19., skal det tredje India-Nordic-toppmøtet holdes i Oslo. Det blir en god mulighet til å møte mine nordiske kolleger. @jonasgahrstore

Welcome to Norway, Prime Minister @narendramodi 🇳🇴🇮🇳 It marks a historic moment: the first visit by India's Prime Minister in over 40 years. I look forward to how Norway, the Nordics & India can strengthen cooperation on trade, green transition and our common global challenges.

Strong unity at the @coe Ministerial in Chișinău: We reaffirmed support for the @ECHR_CEDH and stepped up efforts to strengthen Democratic Security, counter #FIMI and disinformation. Thank you, Moldova, for excellent leadership and hosting.

Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has profoundly changed Norway’s relations to Russia. At the same time, geography continues to bind us together. Read Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore’s op-ed here regjeringen.no/en/whats-new/r…

41 OSCE participating States invoked the #MoscowMechanism for the 6th time in relation to Russia’s war against Ukraine. This time, to investigate Russia’s policy of indoctrination and militarization of Ukrainian children — both in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine

It is totally unacceptable that a clearly marked UN vehicle was hit by Russian drones in #Kherson yesterday. Civilians and humanitarian workers are #NotATarget, and must be protected, not attacked. Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine must stop.

New UN figures on food security in #Sudan reflects the extremely dire situation. More than 800 000 children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition. Norway calls for all parties to lay down their weapons and facilitate humanitarian access. regjeringen.no/en/whats-new/s…

Moldovan airspace was violated last night during Russia’s attacks on Ukraine. With President @sandumaiamd, I reiterated Norway’s strong support for Moldova, it’s resilience, EU ambitions, and impressive leadership in countering foreign information manipulation and interference.

Always a pleasure to meet 🇲🇩 FM @MihaiPopsoi and confirm the strong friendship between Norway and Moldova. Norway continues its support through the #Nansen program in energy, good governance, rule of law, civil society, independent media and countering disinformation.

Deeply concerned by the alarming rise in antisemitism and the targeting of Jewish communities globally. This is a threat to our democratic societies and must be confronted with clarity and resolve. Pleased to sign the SECCA statement on behalf of Norway 👇eeas.europa.eu/sites/default/…

Good discussions with @ZelenskyyUa at #B9. While speaking of a “truce”, Russia used the pause to stockpile drones & missiles for renewed attacks on civilians & critical infrastructure in Ukraine. Last night’s attacks proved their true intentions. We need to #StandByUkraine 🇺🇦

Today I signed a new long-term agreement with Romania, together with 🇷🇴 Minister @dragospislaru, under the @EEANorwayGrants 🇳🇴🇮🇸🇱🇮 For the first time, our cooperation will include efforts to counter disinformation 💪

A meeting of minds with Romania’s FM @oana_toiu in Bucharest. Romania is an important ally for Norway – in NATO, in Europe, in the Black Sea region and in our support for Ukraine and Moldova. We are also strengthening our bilateral cooperation through the @EEANorwayGrants. 🇳🇴🤝🇷🇴

After decades of slow, but steady progress, women’s and girls’ rights are sadly going in reverse around the world. I met @UN_Women’s Sima Bahous to discuss how we can arrest this negative trend. Norway is strongly committed to promoting and protecting women’s rights.

Norway provides another NOK 2.8 billion through NATO’s #PURL initiative, bringing our total PURL support to over NOK 12.5 billion.. Together with allies, we help Ukraine get critical defence equipment fast. @MFA_Ukraine @DefenceU #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇳🇴 regjeringen.no/en/whats-new/f…
