China’s relationship with Norway was once iced
The relationship between Norway and China has always been relatively friendly, but after the Nobel Prize in 2010, Sino-Norwegian relations have deteriorated and even been interrupted. The Chinese side accused Norway of interfering in China's internal affairs, and relations between China and Norway will soon be freezing. The bilateral free trade agreement that was previously signed was frozen, and the high-level exchanges between the two countries stopped. The Norwegian seafood exports to China fell out of favor...
Norwegian-Chinese relations have normalized since 2016
This stalemate was not broken until 2016 when the Norwegian King’s visit to China was received by the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister.
At the time, the Norwegian Prime Minister read a briefing on the normalization of relations between Norway and China in Congress. She was also surprised that the Foreign Minister could visit Beijing to meet with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister. It seems that happiness is coming too suddenly!
At that time, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed at the press conference that Norway had deeply reflected on its mistakes!
Norwegian King will visit China on October 11
According to CCTV news, the Norwegian King will begin his fourth trip to China on October 11.
This visit to China will go to Gansu, Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu. The king will visit the Gansu Optoelectronic Industrial Park and the Bird's Nest and deliver a speech.
It is reported that the main topic of Norway's visit to China this time is energy and trade.
Indeed, although China and Norway have had a frozen moment, both countries are advocates of the Paris Agreement, and they all have their own responsibility for the global energy environment and sustainable development. The size of Norway's economy is similar to that of Shanghai, China. As a country with seafood exports accounting for nearly 70% of total exports, they are looking at China's huge market and are willing to deliver more goods to China. In addition, Norway is a well-known country in Northern Europe, and its tourism resources enjoy a good reputation. The popularity of Chinese people traveling to Norway has also increased year by year. Although the relationship between the two countries has been frozen in the past few years, Norway’s neighbor Denmark seems to be more Chinese. Welcome, but now the relationship between the two countries has been normalized, and Norway is willing to open its doors to meet Chinese tourists. Therefore, this environmental protection, tourism and education will also be the main topics for the visit of the Norwegian King.
