Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador-designate to the Kingdom of Norway, Khaled Alsharif, presents today a copy of his credentials to Ms. Mariam Naqvi, the Director of Diplomatic Affairs at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Minister @espenbartheide met representatives of more than 70 Embassies and Missions to Norway in Oslo today.
On the agenda: the upcoming #COP28 in Dubai, the green transition in Norway and Europe, the situation in Gaza, Russia’s war on Ukraine and other topics.
I invited OIC ambassadors to discuss the situation in Gaza & the war between Hamas and Israel. Norway calls for a humanitarian ceasefire.
We need to ensure humanitarian access.
Hostages must be released.
Important that int’ community stresses the need for a two state solution.
Svært lettet over at de første norske borgere har fått krysse grensa fra Gaza til Egypt.
De har vært gjennom enorme påkjenninger.
Norge fortsetter arbeidet for alle de som fortsatt befinner seg i Gaza.
Vi trenger en humanitær våpenhvile nå.
I welcome the World Bank’s support in collaboration with @UNICEF, @WHO , @WFP & encourage the international community to continue its financial assistance to the Palestinian people and the PA. Humanitarian assistance (fuel, water, food, medicines) is a key priority now.
No place is safe in📍#Gaza
66 people have been killed & 540 injured sheltering in 50 @UNRWA installations this past month
People sheltering under the @UN flag- seeking safety in @UNRWA schools- were killed in places that should be protected under International Humanitarian Law
Tonight, Norway voted in favor of an UNGA resolution calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza, + “continuous, sufficient and unhindered” provision of lifesaving supplies. Glad to be among the 120 states that voted yes. https://t.co/1fWg7BYgIo
I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.
Everyone must assume their responsibilities.
This is a moment of truth.
History will judge us all.
Hvert år tar vi i UD med oss utenlandske ambassadører i Norge på en reise ut av Oslo for at de skal bli bedre kjent med Norge, norske prioriteringer og norsk næringsliv.
I år går turen til Grenland, hvor hovedtemaet er det grønne skiftet: @yara og @Nelhydrogen på Herøya.
Etter å ha sett barnetoget fra Slottsplassen ble utenlandske representanter tatt varmt imot av vår bunadskledde og feststemte utenriksminister. 17. mai er definitivt en dag de vil huske fra sitt opphold i Norge! 🇳🇴☀️🥂@Utenriksdept@AHuitfeldt@NorwayMFA
A pleasure to celebrate the Ambassadors who presented their credentials to His Majesty King Harald today. We look forward to cooperating with you in the years ahead!

Emil må bli fast del av panelet. Han krever respekt for samisk kultur og legger ingenting imellom. Glad han fikk fortsette i panelet i kveld. #stjernekamp
When given the option post-lockdown to pick two days a week working from home, I chose to go cold turkey. Women need the office. https://t.co/q5iPHuM8Ns
