Glad to receive 🇨🇳 Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Oslo, including for a pleasant stroll at Bygdøy.
We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, how to preserve a rules-based order, UN reform, trade, oceans management, freedom of navigation and cooperation in the green transition.
Norway urges de-escalation and echoes UNAMA’s call to respect the international humanitarian law principles of precaution, distinction and proportionality to protect civilians from harm.
مادر همواره سرشار از عشق و امید به آینده است. صدا زدن مادر نغمهای است که از ژرفای جان برمیآید. تو را با مهر خطاب میکنم و روزت را تبریک میگویم که جز این در برابر محبتهای بیکران تو از من ساخته نیست. روزت مبارک ای بهترین و برترینم روزت مبارک مادر!

Türkiye is an important partner and NATO ally for both the Netherlands and the EU. We share close economic ties and work together closely on security and migration. Türkiye also acts a mediator on a number of major geopolitical conflicts, such as Ukraine and Gaza. I discussed these matters this afternoon with President @RTErdogan.
Of course, the war in Iran and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz also featured heavily in our discussion. Iran borders Türkiye, so this war is taking place on its doorstep. We also discussed stability in Syria and looked ahead to the upcoming NATO Summit in Ankara. I look forward to meeting President Erdoğan there.
Ties between the Netherlands and Japan are good and go back a long way: we have enjoyed diplomatic relations for 426 years. The importance of our solid and unique partnership will be reaffirmed by the Emperor of Japan’s upcoming state visit.
This morning I spoke with Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae about our good trade relations, cooperation on security and defence, and the importance of coordinating economic security. As partners, we are working ever more closely together to tackle shared challenges.
Attended the reception for Independence Day of friendly country of Azerbaijan which was held at Grand Kabul Hotel in Kabul. Thank you H.E Ambassador Ilham Mammadov for the warm welcome.

Norway 🇳🇴 and France 🇫🇷 have signed a comprehensive defence agreement under which the two countries commit to come to each other’s aid should the need arise.
‘The Narvik Agreement is an important part of our hedging strategy. It will be a useful tool for safeguarding Norwegian defence and security interests at a time when Europe is having to strengthen its defence capabilities in order to increase its strategic autonomy,’ said Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik.

Norway strongly condemns the deadly attack on a passenger train near Quetta, Balochistan, that claimed many innocent lives and injured many. Our deepest sympathies and condolences are with the victims and the families of those who have lost their loved ones.
Echoing the concerns raised by UNAMA, Norway reiterates that Afghanistan must honor its international human rights obligations—ending discrimination against women, protecting children’s rights, and guaranteeing justice, dignity, and equal rights for all.

Norway became the 15th nation to sign the Pax Silica Declaration.
Norway plays a leading role in developing diversified, secure critical mineral supply chains—spanning from upstream reserves to midstream processing, including operating one of the world's largest nickel refineries. Norway will be a strong partner in this initiative. We’re building supply chains that can’t be held hostage. We’re expanding access to advanced technology with partners committed to safeguarding competitiveness and prosperity.
Economic security IS national security. Pax Silica is how we ensure no adversary can weaponize dependency against us.
