“We are seeking to ensure that countries in Africa have control over the resources in their own sea areas.
- Vi jobber for at land i Afrika skal få bestemme over ressursene i egne havområder.
This is an important contribution to the fight against poverty.
Det er et viktig bidrag i kampen mot fattigdom.
We are delighted that these countries will now have better opportunities for development,” said Erik Solheim, Minister of the Environment and International Development.
Vi gleder oss over at landene nå får økte sjanser til utvikling, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
Establishing the limits of the continental shelf is crucial as this determines who can exploit resources such as oil and gas.
Grensene på havbunnen er avgjørende for hvem som kan utnytte ressurser som olje og gass.
Under the agreement, Norway will provide assistance to Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Mauritania and Senegal in connection with the establishment of these countries’ continental shelves.

Collaboration agreements with Brazil, Argentina and Chile
Samarbeidsavtaler med Brasil, Argentina og Chile
The Norwegian Minister of Higher Education and Research Tora Aasland has signed agreements on research collaboration and higher education with her colleagues in Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
Tora Aasland har inngått avtaler om samarbeid innen forskning og høyere utdanning med sine kolleger i Brasil, Argentina og Chile.
The agreements lay the basis for closer collaboration in areas such as climate and polar research.
Avtalene legger grunnlag for et sterkere samarbeid innen eksempelvis klima- og polarforskning.
Exchange of researchers and students will also play a central role.
Også forsker- og studentutveksling vil stå sentralt.
Ms. Aasland is currently visiting South America in order to increase collaboration on higher education and research with Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
Aasland er nå på en reise til Sør-Amerika for å øke samarbeidet med Brasil, Argentina og Chile innenfor høyere utdanning og forskning.
Norway has previously had only limited scientific collaboration with South America, but developments in several of the countries now make in increase in such activity more appropriate.
Norge har tradisjonelt hatt begrenset vitenskapelig samarbeid med Sør-Amerika, men utviklingen som skjer i flere av landene, gjør nå økt aktivitet mer aktuelt.
As regards Brazil, Argentina and Chile, there are a number of research fields of common interest.
Når det gjelder Brasil, Argentina og Chile er det flere forskningsfelt av felles interesse.
For example, Chile, like Norway, has a considerable fish farming industry, and extension of the collaboration on aquaculture research may be appropriate.
For eksempel har Chile, som Norge, en betydelig oppdrettsnæring, og et utvidet samarbeid innen akvakulturforskning kan være aktuelt.
During her visit to Chile, the Minister took part in the major international aquaculture trade fair Aqua Sur in Puerto Montt.
Under besøket i Chile deltok statsråd Aasland blant annet på den store internasjonale akvakulturmessen Aqua Sur i Puerto Montt.
The specific collaboration topics will be clarified in further follow-up between the countries.
De konkrete samarbeidstemaene vil bli avklart i den videre oppfølgingen mellom landene.
An extended collaboration will also help to realize the intentions of the Government’s major focus on conservation of the rain forest.
Et utvidet samarbeid vil også kunne bidra til å realisere intensjonene med regjeringens store satsing på bevaring av regnskogen.
- I am pleased to note the considerable interest in collaboration with Norway that I have met in Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
- Jeg er glad for den store interessen jeg har møtt i Brasil, Argentina og Chile for et samarbeid med Norge.
The agreements will better enable our education and research institutions to take part in the exciting developments taking place in these countries.
Avtalene vil gi våre utdannings- og forskningsmiljøer en bedre mulighet til å delta i den spennende utviklingen som skjer i disse landene.
I expect that the research collaboration developed will also stimulate the exchange of researchers and students, says Ms. Aasland.
Min forventning er at forskningssamarbeidet som utvikles også skal stimulere forsker- og studentutvekslingen, sier Aasland.
The ceasefire will enter into force on 1 October and will last until 9 January 2018.
Våpenkvila trer i kraft 1. oktober og varer fram til 9. januar 2018.
