The main task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to secure and promote Norway’s interests internationally.

Strong international support for Palestine and the two-state solution at Global Alliance meeting in Oslo

Press release 15/01/2025

‘We need action, not just words. The international community must do more to ensure that the two-state solution becomes a reality. Today, I have urged everyone to think creatively about the concrete steps each of us can take to help build the Palestinian state. It is clear from our meeting that a vast majority of the world’s countries support a two-state solution. A just solution that safeguards the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination is a prerequisite for lasting peace, and cannot be put off to a later date,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
