Islamabad: Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway, Espen Barth Eide will undertake an official visit to Pakistan from August 13-14, at the invitation of the Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister (DPM/FM), Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, the first such visit by a Norwegian Foreign Minister in a decade.
During the visit, the DPM/FM and the Norwegian Foreign Minister will hold delegation-level talks covering the full spectrum of Pakistan-Norway relations. The two sides will discuss avenues for further expanding bilateral cooperation, particularly in trade and investment, climate change, renewable energy, education and people-to-people contacts. They will also exchange views on important regional and international developments, a DPM’s Office news release said.
The visit builds on sustained high-level engagement between the two countries, including telephone conversations between the two Foreign Ministers in March and April 2026, and the visit of Norway’s State Secretary, Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik, to Islamabad in May 2026.
The visit will provide an opportunity to further strengthen the longstanding and cordial relations between Pakistan and Norway and to explore new areas of mutually beneficial cooperation.
