What it is
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the Norwegian government department responsible for the nation's foreign policy, international relations, and development cooperation. It works to safeguard and promote Norway's interests globally while managing diplomatic missions and consular services abroad. Established on June 7, 1905, it was founded on the very day the Storting dissolved Norway's union with Sweden, marking the restoration of an independent Norwegian foreign service.
