Wish I could have been in Bali to receive the award. In my line of business, such things are not common. Thankful for the honor!

At #Arendalsuka we had a great discussion on #Arctic governance with Indigenous leaders and youth - strong and inspiring messages. As chair of the Arctic Council I will work closely with Indigenous People.

Very pleased to have Solveig as new Norwegian SAO. She has a lot of Arctic experience and will be in charge of Norwegian positions as long as Norway is chair of the Arctic Council

#Arendalsuka is the largest annual political gathering in Norway 🇳🇴 and we headed South for the occasion. Drop by for a chat about the Council and Norway’s Chairship. Velkommen 👋

On location in beautiful Tromøya. Ready for #arendalsuka - tomorrow a session on the Norwegian Chairship of the Arctic Council in #lavvoen .
