‘The UN General Assembly is a unique arena.
– FNs generalforsamling er en unik arena.
I look forward to promoting international cooperation and Norway’s interests at the world’s largest meeting place,’ said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
Jeg ser frem til å fremme internasjonalt samarbeid og norske interesser på verdens største møteplass, sier statsminister Erna Solberg.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg is leading the Norwegian delegation to the 71st General Assembly.
Statsministeren leder Norges delegasjon til FNs 71. generalforsamling.
This year’s overarching theme is the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which world leaders agreed on last year.
Det overordnede temaet er gjennomføring av de globale bærekraftsmålene mot fattigdom, som verden ble enige om i fjor.
International engagement is needed in a number of areas to achieve these goals.
For å nå disse målene trengs internasjonalt engasjement på en rekke områder.
Norway will play an active role in efforts to find solutions to challenges such as the refugee and migration crisis, violent extremism, youth unemployment, the spread of infectious diseases, and the negative impacts of climate change.
Norge vil være aktivt engasjert i å finne løsninger på utfordringer som flyktning- og migrasjonskrisen, voldelig ekstremisme, ungdomsarbeidsledighet, spredning av smittsomme sykdommer og skadelige klimaendringer.
Management of marine resources, promotion of women’s rights and, not least, education are other important issues for Norway.
Forvaltning av havets ressurser, arbeidet for kvinners rettigheter og ikke minst utdanning er andre viktige saker for Norge.
‘Over two billion people are currently living in poverty.
- Over to milliarder mennesker lever i fattigdom.
The world has no choice but to give priority to providing better education for future generations.
Verden har ikke noe valg, vi er nødt til å prioritere bedre utdanning for nye generasjoner.
In order to meet future challenges relating to climate change, conflict, unemployment and migration, we need highly educated societies,’ Ms Solberg said.
Vi trenger kunnskapsrike samfunn for å løse fremtidens utfordringer knyttet til klima, konflikter, arbeidsløshet og migrasjon, sier statsminister Solberg.
She also proposed the establishment of the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity, which is due to present a report with recommendations to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on 18 September.
Hun er også initiativtaker til den globale utdanningskommisjonen, som 18. september skal overlevere en rapport med anbefalinger til FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon.
‘The world has seen huge social and economic progress since the UN was founded in 1945.
- Verden har opplevd en enorm sosial og økonomisk utvikling siden FN ble dannet.
But today’s international situation is also characterised by unpredictability and instability, and in many places human rights are coming under increasing pressure.
Men per i dag er også den internasjonale situasjonen preget av uforutsigbarhet og ustabilitet, og menneskerettighetene er mange steder under økende press.
That is why the international community needs a strong and relevant UN that is able to deal with the common challenges we are facing,’ Ms Solberg said.
Derfor trenger vårt globale samfunn et sterkt og relevant FN som har evne til å håndtere våre felles utfordringer, sier Solberg.
Other members of the Norwegian delegation include Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende, Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie, Minister of Climate and Environment Vidar Helgesen and Minister of Immigration and Integration Sylvi Listhaug.
Med i delegasjonen er utenriksminister Børge Brende, helse- og omsorgsminister Bent Høie, miljø- og klimaminister Vidar Helgesen og innvandring- og integreringsminister Sylvi Listhaug.

Representanter for sivilsamfunn og to ungdomsdelegater vil også delta i den norske delegasjonen under åpningen av FNs generalforsamling.
Foreign Minister Børge Brende will present recommendations on the future role of the UN.
Utenriksministeren skal legge frem anbefalinger om hvilken rolle FN bør ha i fremtiden.
The high-level week of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly will begin on 19 September with a summit on refugees and migrants, which both Ms Solberg and Ms Listhaug will be participating in.
Høynivåuken under FNs 71. generalforsamling innledes med toppmøtet om migrasjon 19. september, der både Solberg og Listhaug deltar.
