Norwegian FM to arrive in Pakistan tomorrow on two-day visit
August 12, 2026

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide will undertake a two-day official visit to Pakistan from tomorrow.

It is the first such visit by a Norwegian Foreign Minister in a decade.

The Norwegian Foreign Minister is undertaking this visit at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar.

During the visit, Ishaq Dar 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.

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 this year.

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.
