The war in the Gulf has become a global crisis, with severe economic, social and political repercussions.

It is critical to ensure freedom of navigation in line with #UNCLOS.

Iran’s reckless attacks on countries in the region are totally unacceptable and must cease immediately.

These indiscriminate attacks go well beyond self defence and strike civilians & civilian infrastructure.

I am in touch with colleagues to express 🇳🇴’s solidarity.

[Menteri Luar Negeri Republik Indonesia @Menlu_RI]

Pleased to hold a bilateral dialogue with H.E. Åsmund Grøver Aukrust @AsmundAukrust, Norway’s Minister of International Development @NorwayMFA, in Jakarta (12/02). Reaffirmed our shared commitment to advancing sustainable development, strengthening multilateralism, and promoting global peace. We will also continue to work closely on the issue of Palestine.

Maduro’s regime lacks democratic legitimacy.
Still, international law is universal and binding on all states. The US operation in Venezuela is not in accordance with international law. I call for a peaceful transition to democratic governance in Venezuela. https://t.co/GrecsR3yIn

Productive political consultations with Rwanda 🇷🇼 today. Good and frank discussions on bilateral, regional, and international issues.

Looking forward to continued dialogue and cooperation.

🇳🇴🤝🇷🇼

A day of relief and hope as hostages return home and families are reunited.
Thank you @POTUS for your leadership.

Further releases of hostages and prisoners will bring momentum to the continued implementation of the 20 point plan.

🇳🇴 is ready to contribute.

The images of the Israeli hostages in Gaza are horrifying. Their ordeal is beyond words. I share the pain of their loved ones.

The human catastrophe in Gaza has so many faces. The hostages must be released. Food must enter. The war must end. We need a ceasefire. Now.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

The suffering in Gaza is utterly unacceptable.

Together with 25 committed partners, Norway sends a crystal clear message: the war in Gaza must end. Now.

We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages, and a full resumption of humanitarian aid. https://t.co/RZ5T9LN4nd

Today, the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom have announced sanctions targeting Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧🇳🇴

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

Palestinian statehood is not the outcome of peace — it is its foundation. In Madrid today, we discussed the next steps in building a resilient Palestinian state.

Palestinians deserve a state that protects them and gives hope.

We must end the war - and we must end the conflict.

[Embajador Per Anders Nilsen @NorwayAmbChile]

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

I welcome @POTUS’ announcement that sanctions on Syria will be lifted. Norway has argued for the same regarding European sanctions.

The government of President Al Sharaa must get the opportunity to prove that they can unite Syria. We remain a vigilant, but constructive friend.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

I am deeply concerned about the high tension between India and Pakistan following the terror attack in Pahalgam April 22.

In phone conversations with Indian FM @DrSJaishankar and Pakistani Deputy PM & FM @MIshaqDar50, I urged restraint and dialogue.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

We welcome the appointment of a new Syrian government. Inclusive governance is essential for #Syria's future. We hope the government will succeed in meeting the aspirations of the Syrian people. Norway looks forward to working with the new government, including FM @Asaad_Shaibani

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

Great to meet my colleague @DrSJaishankar during the @raisinadialogue.

We discussed current geopolitical trends, and expanding 🇮🇳-🇳🇴 trade on the basis of our new trade agreement & developing cooperation in ocean and maritime issues.

At today’s pledging conference for Syria Norway announced at least NOK 400 million (approximately € 35 million) to Syria this year. The funds will finance humanitarian aid, infrastructure, including water supply, electricity, and healthcare. More https://t.co/1OjHweFfmM

It was a pleasure meeting you in Beirut today, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, and to congratulate you as PM-designate of Lebanon.

Your leadership at this critical juncture for Lebanon & the region brings hope.

Norway stands ready support your path forward. 🇱🇧🇳🇴

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

This is a hopeful time for the Syrian people. Norway is engaging with the transitional government on crucial issues for Syria and the region.

A peaceful and inclusive political transition is key. Civil society as well as the UN also have important roles to play.

[Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik @akravik79]

Informative piece about the initiative to ask ICJ for advisory opinion on Israel’s obligations to ensure that the UN, other organizations and states can deliver humanitarian assistance and basic services to Palestinians under occupation. https://t.co/UVEe0fOU1X
