Thank you Ambassador Carl Magnus🇸🇪 for hosting and to senator @bmuehlemann (FDP) ��🇭for meeting with us Nordic-Baltic ambassadors. Very useful insights!
Very good exchange over lunch with @bmuehlemann, now Co-President of FDP, joined by my Norwegian and Lithuanian colleagues. Swiss politics, EU relations, trade and security policy were high on the agenda — against the backdrop of an increasingly tense global environment.

Deeply concerned by the escalation in the #MiddleEast, a region where I was welcomed so warmly last month. This evening I discussed the rapidly evolving situation and need to prevent further regional destabilisation with the President of the UAE and the Crown Prince of Kuwait.

Prosperity and shared progress require a strong, rules-based trading order. An excellent meeting on WTO reform and the upcoming ministerial in Cameroon with Director General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, @NOIweala. As a facilitator, Norway will do its part to ensure a successful result.

Norway aligns itself with the new EU sanctions against on those directly responsible for the violent crackdown on protests in #Iran. In recent weeks, the regime has killed thousands of civilians protesting for their freedom. This is utterly unacceptable.

Intressant från Carney i Davos: ”The Nordics plus 🇨🇦 is 20% of global GDP. It’s not the first thing people realize but that relationship, which is deepening, for security reasons and because we’re likeminded, those are the types of partnerships that I think we’ll see more of.”

The day is ending on a better note than it began. We welcome that POTUS has ruled out to take Greenland by force and paused the trade war. Now, let’s sit down and find out how we can address the American security concerns in the Arctic while respecting the red lines of the KoD.

Drohungen haben unter Verbündeten keinen Platz: 🇳🇴 Position ist eindeutig: 🇬🇱 ist Teil des Königreiches 🇩🇰. 🇳🇴 unterstützt uneingeschränkt die Souveränität des Königreiches 🇩🇰. NATO ist sich weitgehend einig, dass die Sicherheit in der Arktis, incl. 🇬🇱, gestärkt werden muss.
Threats have no place among allies. Norway's position is firm: Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Norway fully supports the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark. There is broad agreement in NATO on the need to strengthen security in the Arctic, including in Greenland.
