Glad for at FNs granskningsrapport viser at UNRWA har på plass gode rutiner for å sikrer nøytralitet, og at organisasjonen arbeider i tråd med de humanitære prinsippene.

Jeg oppfordrer land som fortsatt har fryst sine bidrag til å gjenoppta støtten

I am so relieved by the long awaited US House approval of a much needed aid package for Ukraine.

We all need to step up to turn things around and make sure Ukraine wins this war.

This is existential for Ukraine, but also decisive for the security of the whole of Europe.

The climate crisis requires swift action & the need for an ambitious global response to combat climate change.

Norway regrets that the Security Council did not agree on admitting #Palestine as a full member of the UN.

We would have voted in favour.
