Norway supports ceasefire agreement for Somalia
Noreg støttar våpenkvileavtale for Somalia
The official signing is planned to take place in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia next weekend.
Den offisielle underteikninga skal etter planen skje i Jeddah i Saudi-Arabia komande helg.
The ceasefire will initially last for three months, but can subsequently be renewed.
I første omgang skal våpenkvila vara i tre månader, men kan deretter fornyast.
It is crucial that the parties now keep strictly to these agreements.
Det er viktig at partene nå holder sine løfter.
All hostilities must cease at once and civilians must gain access to humanitarian assistance,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Alle kamphandlinger må stanse umiddelbart og sivile må få tilgang til humanitær hjelp, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
“Norway welcomes the ceasefire agreement in South Sudan.
- Norge ønsker våpenhvileavtalen i Sør-Sudan velkommen.
The conflicting parties - the Government of South Sudan, and a delegation representing former Vice President Riek Machar - have today taken an important step towards reaching a peaceful solution to the conflict.
De stridende partene, bestående av henholdsvis representanter for den sør-sudanske regjeringen, og tidligere visepresident Riek Machar, har i dag har tatt et viktig skritt mot en fredelig løsning på konflikten.
The UN and its peace mission UNMISS are playing a key role in the efforts to stabilise the situation in South Sudan.
FN og fredsoperasjonen UNMISS har en sentral rolle i arbeidet med å stabilisere situasjonen i Sør-Sudan.
I would like to express Norwayʼs full support of UNMISS in this context,” said Mr Brende.
Jeg vil uttrykke full støtte til UNMISS i denne situasjonen, sier Brende.
The current crisis in South Sudan began in mid-December last year, as a result of growing internal divisions in the ruling party, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM).
Krisen i Sør-Sudan brøt ut i midten av desember i fjor, som følge av økende politiske spenninger internt i regjeringspartiet SPLM.
The hostilities have resulted in widespread devastation and massive humanitarian needs.
Krigshandlingene har skapt store ødeleggelser og omfattende humanitære behov.
According to UN estimates, several thousand people have been killed and almost half a million have been forced to flee from their homes.
FN anslår at flere tusen mennesker er blitt drept og nærmere en halv million mennesker fordrevet fra sine hjem.
Norway stands ready to support these efforts,” said Mr Brende.
Norge står klar til å støtte dette arbeidet, sier utenriksministeren.

Bicentenary events organised by the missions abroad will continue throughout the year with the most intense activity in April and May.
Stasjonanes jubileumsaktivitetar held fram heile året, med høgsesong i april og mai.
A golden opportunity Celebrating the bicentenary of the Norwegian Constitution in places like Jakarta, Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi, or Sofia may not seem quite as obvious as celebrating in Eidsvoll.
Grunnlovsjubileet – ei anledning Det er kanskje ikkje like sjølvsagt å skulle feire grunnlovsjubileet i Jakarta, i Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi, eller Sofia som på Eidsvoll.
Nevertheless, many missions abroad have decided to arrange events.
Likevel har mange utanriksstasjonar vald å markere jubiléet.

Your Majesties King Harald and Queen Sonja,
Deres Majesteter, Ærede kongepar, Kjære Harald og Sonja,
Welcome to the Opera House.
Velkommen til Operaen.
This evening, we are gathered to celebrate your birthdays and the 80 years you can look back on.
I kveld er vi samlet for å feire dere og de 80 årene dere har tilbakelagt.
More of us should think along those lines.
Flere av oss burde tenke slik.
As you know, I am keen to encourage people to stay in the workforce for as long as they can.
Som dere vet, jobber jeg for at folk skal stå lenger i jobb.
And I must say that the two of you are setting an excellent example in that respect.
Og der må jeg si at dere går foran med et godt eksempel.
I believe most of us have a lot to learn from our King and Queen.
Jeg tror de fleste av oss har mye å lære av kongeparet.
The warmth, closeness and humour you share, both with each other and with the whole of Norway, are a source of inspiration that more of us should draw on.
Den varmen, nærheten og humoren dere deler både med hverandre og med hele Norge burde flere la seg inspirere av.
As is fitting for a constitutional monarchy, the title of the book is not ‘The King commands’, but ‘The King recommends’.
Som seg hør og bør i et konstitusjonelt monarki, heter ikke boken «Kongen befaler», men «Kongen anbefaler».
Much has changed in Norway since the two of you became a couple.
Mye har endret seg i Norge siden dere ble et par.
Those born in the 1980s probably don’t know what I am talking about, but I think The King and Queen will understand.
De som er født på 80-tallet vet neppe hva jeg snakker om, men jeg tror kongen og dronningen kjenner seg igjen.
When we slip up and address you in the informal ‘you’ form, it is just because we feel that you are so close to us.
Når vi snubler og tiltaler dere med du-form, så er det fordi vi føler at dere står oss så nært.
Today it goes without saying that fathers do their part.
I dag er det selvsagt at også pappa bidrar.
The role of women has also changed considerably.
Kvinnerollen har også endret seg mye.
You are ordinary people with extraordinary jobs.
Dere er vanlige mennesker med helt uvanlige jobber.
You have your worries – some great and some small – as well as sources of joy, both great and small.
Dere har små og store bekymringer, små og store gleder.
You have children and grandchildren.
Dere har barn og barnebarn.
You have each other.
Og dere har hverandre.
And then you have us.
Og så har dere oss.
Five million Norwegians who all feel they own a small part of you.
5 millioner nordmenn som alle føler at vi eier en liten del av dere.
You are excellent ambassadors for Norway, and for our country’s natural beauty and culture.
Dere er fantastiske ambassadører for Norge: for naturen og kulturen.
For the companies that give us livelihoods.
For bedriftene vi skal leve av.
For the people who live here.
For menneskene som bor her.
You have seen Norway develop over the years.
Dere har sett Norge vokse.
From a relatively poor country that had to be rebuilt after a devastating world war, to one of the most prosperous countries in Europe.
Fra å være et relativt fattig land som måtte bygges opp etter en ødeleggende verdenskrig, til å bli et av de mest velstående landene i Europa.
There have been ups and downs.
Det har vært oppturer og nedturer.
There have been good times and bad times.
Det har vært gode dager.
You have followed Norway on this journey.
Dere har fulgt Norge på denne reisen.
Every single day.
Hver eneste dag.
It’s the ordinary days that make up most of our lives.
Det er i hverdagene vi lever våre liv.
But every now and then, we come together for parties and celebrations.
Og så møtes vi til fest og feiring innimellom.
As we have this evening.
Som i kveld.
In a world full of unrest, conflicts and extremist views, you give our society a unique sense of continuity.
I en verden preget av uro, konflikter og ytterliggående standpunkter representerer dere en enestående kontinuitet i samfunnet.
A fixed point in our lives.
Et fast punkt i tilværelsen.
We need this.
Det trenger vi.
You help to create an inclusive society based on trust, openness and generosity of spirit.
Dere bidrar til å skape et inkluderende samfunn preget av tillit, åpenhet og raushet.
A few years ago, The King said: ‘People say that wisdom comes with age.
Kongen sa for noen år tilbake: «Det sies at visdom kommer med alderen.
Congratulations on your 80th birthdays!

Feiringen av kongeparets 80-årsdager
Speech by Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the celebrations at Oslo Opera House, 10 May 2017.
Statsminister Erna Solbergs tale til kongeparet ved jubileumsfeiringen i Operaen i Oslo 10. mai 2017.
Norway and Pakistan have close relations, both state-to-state and people-to-people.
Norge og Pakistan har tette bånd.
Immigration from Pakistan started in the late 1960s, when the first immigrants came here looking for jobs.
På 1960-tallet flyttet de første pakistanere til Norge i jakten på arbeid.
It was not an easy transition.
Det var ingen enkel reise.
Many experienced scepticism, poor working conditions and racism.
De første arbeidsinnvandrerne møtte skepsis, dårlige vilkår og rasisme.
Right from the start, Pakistani immigrants have helped to create a diverse and plural society, and continue to do so.
De pakistanske arbeidsinnvandrerne bidro den gang, som de gjør i dag, til et viktig mangfold og gjør oss til et rikere samfunn.
This has been important.
Det er viktig.
We need to build bridges between people and cultures.
Vi trenger mer brobygging mellom mennesker og kulturer.
Today, there are nearly 40 000 people in Norway who were born in Pakistan or whose parents or grandparents were.
I dag bor det nesten 40 000 personer i Norge som ble født i Pakistan – eller som har foreldre eller besteforeldre fra Pakistan.
I’m impressed to see so many of you here today.
Det er imponerende å se så mange av dere her i dag.
Thank you again Ambassador Masood for the invitation, and for bringing us all together on this special day.
Thank you ambassador Riffat Masood for the invitation, and for bringing you all together on this special day.
As you know, this didn't happen by itself.
Store endringer skjer ikke av seg selv.
Many people worked hard, especially the members of the Pakistan Movement.
Mange hadde jobbet hardt for den nye staten, spesielt Pakistan Movement.
At the forefront of these efforts was Muhammad Ali Jinnah of the All-India Muslim League.
I ledelsen var Muhammad Ali Jinnah i All-India Muslim League.
70 years later we can share Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s vision for a Pakistan with equal rights for all, without discrimination.
70 år senere kan vi dele hans visjon om et land med like rettigheter for alle, uten diskriminering.
The words he spoke on that occasion are well known: “You are free. you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan”. [end quote] This was something that could not be taken for granted in 1947, and unfortunately still cannot be taken for granted today in many parts of the world.
Han er kjent for å ha sagt: “You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan.”
Over the past 70 years, Pakistan has grown and developed in many ways.
I løpet av de 70 årene som har gått, har Pakistan vokst.
The youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner in history, Malala Yousafzai, has influenced the whole world with her clear message on education, women's rights, and peace.
Den yngste nobelprisvinneren gjennom tidende, Malala Yousafzai har rørt en hel verden med sin sterke historie og tydelige budskap om utdanning, kvinners rettigheter og fred.
Today, it is almost a decade since the last military ruler gave way to a democratically elected government.
I dag er det nesten ti år siden den siste militære regjeringen ble erstattet med en demokratisk valgt regjering.
The transition to democracy has not always been easy.
Overgangen til demokrati har ikke vært uten utfordringer.
There is a lot to celebrate.
Det er altså mye å feire.
We all share the hope that Pakistan will be successful in the fight against evil and violence.
Vi deler alle sammen håpet om at landet skal lykkes i kampen mot ondskap og vold.
Norway recognised Pakistan as a sovereign state already in 1947.
------ Norge anerkjente Pakistan som selvstendig stat allerede i 1947.
Today relations between our two countries are friendly and close.
Det er i dag et tett og godt forhold mellom våre to land.
