Pakistan, Norway reaffirm commitment to strengthening ties

Pakistan and Norway have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation during a high-level visit by Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide to Islamabad. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar welcomed Eide, who arrived in Pakistan on Thursday, marking the first such visit in a decade. The two ministers held a restricted-format meeting to discuss various aspects of bilateral relations, regional and international developments, and areas for further cooperation.

They expressed their commitment to expanding cooperation in trade, investment, climate change, renewable energy, education, and people-to-people contacts. The visit is expected to build on previous high-level engagements between the two countries, including phone conversations and a previous visit by a Norwegian delegation.
