Signed! ✅🎉

Today, EFTA 🇮🇸🇱🇮🇳🇴🇨🇭 and Thailand 🇹🇭 signed an #FTA at the @WEF Annual Meeting in #Davos! 🌍✨

This ambitious agreement will facilitate trade between the EFTA States and Thailand, reduce or eliminate customs duties and promote sustainable development.

It also includes new provisions for SMEs, cooperation and capacity building.

[Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik @akravik79]

Today Norway and other EFTA countries signed a comprehensive free trade agreement with Thailand. I am confident that the agreement will accelerate economic growth and strengthen trade ties. A great way to celebrate 120 years of diplomatic relations between 🇹🇭 and 🇳🇴!

Historic majority in the UN today. 137 countries spoke out: It is unacceptable for Israel to block life-saving support to Palestinians under occupation.

Respect for international law must be upheld. Humanitarian access is imperative. Everywhere.

UNRWA must survive.

No country is above international law.

Norway is initiating a UN resolution asking the International Court of Justice to clarify Israel's legal obligations to ensure that aid reaches Palestinians. https://t.co/SgN4uRXAEe

Congratulations Thailand with becoming the first nation in Southeast Asia signing into law the Marriage Equality Bill after yesterday’s Royal endorsement. Everyone should be able to love and marry who they want #LoveisLove #MarrigeEqualityLaw

The new interim government in #Bangladesh, led by Muhammad Yunus, will have crucial and challenging task to prepare inclusive, free and fair elections and a democratic government.

It’s key to carry out impartial investigations into recent atrocities, and restore law and order.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

I am concerned about the situation in #Bangladesh.

An orderly and peaceful transition to democratic government is essential.

I call for calm and restraint, impartial investigation of recent events, respect for human rights and the rule of law.

🙏Thank you, Denmark, Norway and Sweden for your unwavering support for #Rohingya refugees in 🇧🇩Bangladesh 💙

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

In today’s meeting w/ Palestine’s PM Mustafa, I handed over a document confirming Norway’s recognition of the State of Palestine.

The recognition enters into force on May 28.

🇳🇴 remains a staunch supporter of 🇵🇸. We support the Palestinian government’s dedicated reform efforts.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

Norway will recognize Palestine as a State.

A two-state solution is the only viable pathway to peace for both Israel and Palestine.

At this critical juncture, our recognition comes in support of the work towards a comprehensive plan for regional peace.

#IDAHOT2024 is a call for unity and solidarity: as a society and as a community, our rights are only secure if they apply to everyone.

Women's rights are human rights. Gender equality is also smart economics. We cannot address today's global challenges in food security, conflicts, and climate change without full and equal participation from both women and men, girls and boys. #InternationalWomensDay 💜
