My message at the 🇺🇳 today: No double standards on international humanitarian law. Civilians must be protected, in Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan and elsewhere. Norway will speak out, support humanitarian action and use diplomacy to defend the rules that protect people in war. #UNGA81
Devastating updates from the frontlines by @ua_minfin Ukraine has Norway’s unwavering support in their fight against the illegal Russian aggression. In our meeting today we discussed needs going forward and how Norway can best support
I condemn the massive Israeli attacks in Lebanon, which have caused immense suffering and destruction.
Israel has a duty to protect civilians & civilian infrastructure. I strongly urge the parties to de-escalate and to respect the ceasefire. https://t.co/IJoTzMsg4g
I welcome the temporary ceasefire between Iran and the United States. This gives diplomacy a chance, at a moment when the world stood on the brink of a dangerous escalation.
I commend Pakistan, working with Türkiye & Egypt, for their tireless efforts for dialogue.
On the International Day for #MineAwareness and Assistance in #MineAction, we share a simple truth: landmines remain in the ground for many decades and explode when the victim steps on them.
In 2024, 90% of those killed or injured were civilians. Almost half were children. @UNMAS
On Mine Awareness Day, we recognize the impact of the Ottawa Treaty.
Since 1999:
• 94 states destroyed 55M+ stockpiled mines
• Mine use has declined worldwide
Global cooperation saves lives. The humanitarian norm must be protected.

A substantive and good meeting with Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore. Norway is providing us with significant energy support – in many ways, it is thanks to our cooperation with Norway that we have been able to get through this winter and the previous ones, each of which Russia tries to turn into a weapon against our people, against life in Ukraine in general.
Today we spoke about continuing our joint work – and we will work toward a strategic partnership; in fact, we have already reached this level. Thank you that Norway is ready to continue helping us with energy – and not only helping, but also working more on joint ideas and joint projects. Today we discussed some of these energy prospects – and this is what will strengthen us. The energy ministers of our states will speak later today, and a corresponding agreement on energy cooperation will follow.
Norway is one of the strongest defenders of life. Thank you for this to every Norwegian, and personally to Jonas.
God morgen from Oslo!
Norway is not only one of the EU's most like-minded partners but also an integral member of the European family and one of our closest friends.
I look forward to discussing how to further deepen this important relationship — from security and defence, foreign policy, to the economy and energy.
Always great to meet @jonasgahrstore
Challenging times are faced by partners together.
This is why we need the EU-Norway partnership to grow stronger than ever.
We are now deepening our cooperation on the Arctic and Arctic security, both bilaterally and as partners in NATO.
