Oslo, MINA – Norway has officially established diplomatic relations with the State of Palestine, marking a significant political move by the European country amid the ongoing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The announcement coincided with the presentation of credentials by Marie Sedin, Palestine’s newly appointed ambassador to Norway, during a ceremony at the Royal Palace in Oslo, where she formally submitted her letter of credence to King Harald V, Quds Press reported on Friday.
The establishment of formal diplomatic relations grants Palestine full diplomatic representation in Oslo, signalling Norway’s commitment to supporting Palestinian statehood.
