Pleased to host a Nordic-Baltic lunch on Greece’s current affairs with @EVenizelos as guest of honor. Grateful for his insights and for a rich exchange with all participants. A timely and forward-looking exchange!
Greece and Norway — rooted in shared maritime heritage, united by a vision for a greener, more secure future. Proud to share my thoughts with @tovimagr on how our 🇳🇴🇬🇷collaboration in shipping, energy & sustainability can chart a new course 👇https://t.co/hv0o6usmPm
Καλησπέρα! I just started my first week as the new Norwegian Ambassador to Greece and Cyprus. So far, the toughest challenge has been resisting all the delicious food-and the warm welcomes! I’m truly excited to deepen our partnership and friendship over the coming years! 🇳🇴🇬🇷🇨🇾
Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.
In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.
During routine construction works at the natural gas pipeline network in Athens, this magnificent marble statue of Hermes was recovered today in a fairly good condition. After all, you know what to expect when you unearth in democracies.
Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the European Union have now signed an agreement on a new funding period for the EEA and Norway Grants.

Paper straws and bamboo toothbrushes are not saving us. We really must do something about this ruthless tourist model that will exhausts us. In a burning world we are throwing fireworks. https://t.co/3tZ64GbZNT
⛏️Οι ανασκαφικές έρευνες στην κορυφή του λόφου Παπούρα, στο Καστέλλι και του υπό κατασκευή αεροδιαδρόμου, απέδωσαν μνημειακό αρχιτεκτονικό σύνολο, σε κυκλικό σχήμα, μοναδικό για την μινωική αρχαιολογία.

Great story in @Kathimerini_gr about Bodø 🇳🇴, the European Capital of Culture for 2024, a city north of the Arctic Circle getting ready to welcome visitors from all over Europe! @bodo2024 https://t.co/ojx0iaK4Cx
Έλληνες φίλοι 😊 It is almost -20 degrees 🥶❄️ outside 🇳🇴 and I miss Greece 🇬🇷 🌞 Making Παστίτσιο to see if it helps (I think it might … 😎). What do you think?
Καλά τα πράσινα νησιά και οι επενδυτικές βαθμίδες αλλά αν η Αθήνα δεν αποκτήσει δημόσιες συγκοινωνίες και χρόνους αναμονής ευρωπαϊκής πρωτεύουσας σε ώρες αιχμής, η μιζέρια, η συμφόρηση και η ρύπανση θα χειροτερεύουν. Αλλά θα μου πείτε χρησιμοποιούν ΜΜΜ «τα δικά μας παιδιά»;
If you don't live in Israel or consume Israeli media, you don't know who Yair Golan is. He is a 61-year-old retired Major General in the Israel army and a former parliament MP. Spend a minute to read this story.
Yesterday, when IDF and the police were in complete chaos, Golan put on his old uniform, took his weapon, and drove into the war zone multiple times to rescue civilians under fire. He rescued two young adults hiding under a bush after 260 of their friends were murdered at an outdoor party. He answered a call from a journalist that his son was hiding under fire and simply said, "Give me his location, and I will bring him back home." An hour later, the son called his father from Golan's car.
Golan collected a small crew and went in and out of the war zone, rescuing dozens of people while exchanging fire with Hamas terrorists. He is 61, he could have stayed home, but he chose to risk his life for people he does not know.
Golan is one of the strongest voices from the Israeli left and was constantly attacked by the right wing in Israel. But when the time came, he was first fighting the barbaric attack. The same brain wiring that supports peace, is often the same wiring that drives people to do the right thing.
A true hero.
Οι σχέσεις Ελλήνων και Αρμένιων είναι σχέσεις φιλίας, εκτίμησης και κοινού πόνου. Ελάχιστοι ασχολούνται με την μοναξιά της Αρμενιας. Θα έπρεπε. Η καλοπιστία στην εξωτερική πολιτική σπάνια είναι επιτυχής και ακόμη πιο σπάνια εξυπηρετεί τα εθνικά συμφέροντα.

A strong message of solidarity from Norway to all Chileans commemorating 50 years since the military coup.
After the coup, Norway assisted many of those who needed protection and fled due to prosecution.
Today, Chile and Norway are close allies.
Por la Democracia, siempre.
