[African Union Mission to the UN @AfricanUnionUN]

“King Harald’s first journey to
the continent was to Tanzania in 1981, […] The Group is conscious that the wider relationship between Norway and Africa, from support for the liberation movements of southern Africa to the long record of Norwegian development cooperation and the country's contribution to peace processes on the continent, is the work of successive governments and of the Norwegian people. King Harald did not author that record. He represented it, consistently and without ostentation, across three and a half decades, and in doing so he lent the dignity of his office to a partnership that many African States have valued.

Africa also recognised in him a head of state who understood that a small
country earns its standing through steadiness rather than size. That is a
lesson with resonance for many of our own Members. The Group takes some comfort in the continuity that follows him. […].

The African Group asks the delegation of Norway to convey to the Royal Family and to the Norwegian people our sympathy and our respect for a long life spent in the service of his country.”

[Khalilur Rahman @UN_PGA]

On behalf of the General Assembly, I expressed my sincere condolences to Her Majesty Queen Sonja, His Majesty King Haakon VIII, the Royal Family, and the Government and people of Norway on the passing of His Majesty King Harald V.

King Harald reigned with openness and a deep appreciation for humanity in all its diversity.

His legacy will live on through the generations of Norwegians he served and inspired, and through the conviction that everyone should have a place in the story we share.
