Valuable exchange with Shen Chunyao, Chairman of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee, on 🇨🇳's legislative process, the importance of the rule of law, and legal safeguards for international businesses.

As always, a good and productive meeting with Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore. We discussed in detail our cooperation in the production and use of drones. Our experience is already being used in the Middle East and the Gulf. We are improving defense against “shahed” drones, and we believe this should also be done in Europe. Today, for this purpose, we initiated a Drone Deal with Norway and signed a Joint Declaration on Enhanced Defense and Security Cooperation. Now our teams will work out the details. We also focused on our joint production projects and cooperation priorities for this year, and not only in defense. We continue to work together with partners to strengthen our countries. I personally thank Jonas, Norway, and all Norwegians for their military and energy support for Ukraine, for strengthening our air defense, and for their readiness to continue support for the PURL initiative. We feel your support and are sincerely grateful for it.

Informative exchanges with EVP of the Central Party School Xie Chuntao. Interesting to learn about CCPs role in econ & social development, and discuss 🇳🇴&🇨🇳 political systems, policy dev. processes, political representation, experiences with national minorities, and rule of law.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong, which has claimed so many lives and left families in grief. My heartfelt condolences to the victims and their loved ones.

Productive meeting with Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang today. Norway and China are committed to tackling climate change and to cooperate on fostering the green transition. With 160 Norwegian companies operating in China, I’m glad to see our economic cooperation continuing to grow.

I had a constructive and good meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi of China, focusing on the need for a rules-based international trading system, UN reform and the green transition. We also discussed the war against Ukraine, developments in the Middle East, and human rights.

Good to be back in #China. I look forward to discuss aspects of common interest such as a rules based international order and the green transition. Norway’s partnership with China is vital in a time with geopolitical uncertainty and shifts in the global economy.
