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.
