Nepal–Norway relations are bilateral relations between Nepal and Norway. Diplomatic relations were established on 26 January 1973. Norway established an embassy in Kathmandu in 2000.[1] Nepal has a non-resident ambassador in Copenhagen.
State visits
[edit]In 2008, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim visited Nepal.[2] In 2009, the Nepalese Prime Minister Prachanda visited Norway.[3]
Norwegian aid
[edit]Norway's aid to Nepal was around 32 million USD in 2017. Norwegian aid prioritizes education, good governance and energy.[4]
Embassy bombing
