The Government has decided to hold a national memorial ceremony in the wake of the attacks 22 July on the Government buildings and on Utøya. The decision was taken in consultation with the political parties in the Norwegian Parliament.
Bereaved families, survivors and others directly affected by the attacks will be invited, along with rescuers, health workers and other contributors, as well as representatives from the official Norway.

Further information about the memorial ceremony and practical details in connection with the event will be published on a dedicated page at regjeringen.no shortly.

A new press release will be issued when the website is ready.
