She said this when she met Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the visiting delegation.

The Prime Minister’s office said Ms. Soreide pledged Norway’s fullest support for Sri Lanka’s reconciliation efforts and that both parties had highlighted the need for improving economic, political and diplomatic ties between the two countries.

She pledged Norway’s support for the development of Sri Lanka's fisheries sector and the proposed University of Police and Crime.

Norway is a powerless tiny country in Europe and Sri Lanka providing it with the opportunity to behave like a major power. Every year Norway sends a big Christmas tree to Britain , which is placed in the Trafalgar Square in London,as a mark of thanks for the help it received from Britain during the Second World War.

I knew British Used Norway to send indirect messages to Sri lanka. It was a clever trick British used Because if British come straight, former colonial countries directly come to the aid of Sri lanka. And an other group too has been Behind Norway.
