Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, who is currently on a visit to Pakistan, has expressed Oslo’s readiness to assist Pakistan’s peace efforts in the US-Iran war.
Addressing a joint press conference with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Eide said that Oslo had experience in peace negotiations and maintained open dialogue with both Tehran and Washington.
“Wherever we can be useful, we will,” he said.
He also highlighted Norway’s experience in international maritime affairs, saying the country was among the world’s major seafaring nations despite its relatively small population.
He said Norway could therefore play a constructive role in discussions concerning international maritime law and developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
