The Office of the Norwegian Prime Minister announced today that the Canadian Prime Minister will visit Norway later this week 🇳🇴🇨🇦

I am genuinely happy to see this, but it is quite astonishing that this will be the first official visit by a Canadian Prime Minister to Norway since 1980!

I will always remember your visit to Bishop’s University in February 2012.

It is unlikely that even a hundred medals can make up for the reputational damage Norway has suffered in recent weeks

Man har også mulighet til å la være å krysse av i kategorier man ikke har tilstrekkelig grunnlag for å kommentere. I hvilket land ligger universitetet du refererer til?

Jeg har skrevet hundrevis av anbefalingsbrev til amerikanske og europeiske universiteter i løpet av de siste tjue årene, men jeg har aldri støtt på et nettskjema som er så rigid at det ikke gir mulighet til å skrive egen tekst eller legge ved en lenke til den.

At du kjenner på nervøsitet mens du planlegger talen, er bare et veldig godt tegn. Det betyr at talen din kan bli helt strålende – kanskje til og med episk! Ble du enda litt mer nervøs nå?

FULL SPEECH: Canada’s PM Carney Says US-Led World Order Is Breaking at World Economic Forum | AC1G YouTube video by DRM News

Klar tale fra Canadas statsminister. Han oppsummerte landets tilnærming til internasjonal politikk som «prinsipiell pragmatisme» – et begrep vi i Norden lett kan kjenne oss igjen i.

Statement on Greenland from the PM of Denmark. Statement on Greenland from the PM of Norway. Statement on Greenland from the PM of Sweden. Statement on Greenland from the President of Finland.

Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland undermine NATO, but also risk fatally harming cooperation among the A7 Arctic states.

Our Nordic allies are clear and united that Greenland is part of K. of Denmark and its future is for Greenlanders to decide.

Canada must be as clear.
