I am grateful to the political parties of the Norwegian Parliament @Stortinget for their unanimous decision to increase support for Ukraine in 2025 from 1.4 to 3.2 billion USD.
This united and resolute decision sends a powerful message to those who wage war against peace: the free world stands steadfast and united with Ukraine, providing the support needed to achieve victory and secure lasting peace.
Great meeting MFA Norway and Norad colleagues at the annual partnership consultation to reflect, realign and recommit to our strong partnership. Our shared vision of a world where every child can thrive - free from poverty, inequality, and injustice is invaluable! #UNICEFThanks
I look forward to working with South Africa’s new FM @RonaldLamola on global challenges, including the AU’s Agenda 2063, G20 and the future of multilateralism, peace and security.

See my oped in City Press on how Norway has worked to support the Palestinian cause since the Oslo Accords in 1993. Freedom and security for all must be based on the two-state solution. Our recognition of the State of Palestine must be seen in this light🇳🇴🇿🇦🇵🇸@Sophie_Mokoena

Since the talks in Norway in the early 90s led to the Oslo Accords, we have always tried to facilitate peace and development in the Middle East. In pursuing that same aim, we will now recognise Palestine as a state. 🇳🇴🇵🇸 @DIRCO_ZA@Zwandid@alvinbotes@MbalulaFikile
