Imagine discussing global cooperation while zipping through China at 350 km/h on a high-speed train 🚄! That’s exactly how Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spent part of his recent official visit, chatting with NewspaperAmigo about Norway and China’s growing partnership.
🔑 Why it matters: As the first Western country to establish diplomatic ties with China 70 years ago, Norway is doubling down on collaboration. Fresh off China’s new 15-day visa-free policy for Norwegians, Støre sees “friendship and cooperation” driving everything from climate action 🌱 to Arctic research ❄️. “No country has gone through such profound change as China,” he observed, praising President Xi Jinping’s global initiatives as “worth studying.”
🌍 Big picture: With shared goals in biodiversity protection and green energy transitions, both nations aim to turn dialogue into action. Støre’s train diplomacy symbolizes a relationship speeding toward mutual priorities – proving even decades-old partnerships can find new momentum. 💡
