Lecture at the University of Tromsø, 29 April 2010
Forelesning ved Universitetet i Tromsø, 29. april 2010
We must remember that the delimitation line itself does not generate value.
- Husk: Grensen i seg selv skaper ikke verdier.
It is people’s work that creates value.
Det er menneskers arbeid som skaper verdier.

Rector Aarbakke, ladies and gentlemen,
(Illustrasjon: Tittelslide)
Thank you for your kind words, Rector, for the invitation to speak here and for the warm welcome you have all given me.
Kjære rektor Aarbakke, kjære alle sammen, takk for gode ord, takk for invitasjonen og takk for denne varme velkomsten!
It means something very special to me to be back here at the University of Tromsø to speak about the High North.
Det betyr noe helt spesielt for meg å være tilbake her ved Universitetet i Tromsø med invitasjon til å snakke om nordområdene.
Most of all because the High North is the Government’s number one foreign policy priority, as it has been every single day since 17 October 2005.
Først og fremst, selvfølgelig, fordi dette er regjeringens viktigste satsingsområde i utenrikspolitikken, slik det har vært hver dag siden 17. oktober 2005.
But also because my experience of this auditorium on 10 November 2005 is among my finest memories from my life as a politician.
Men også fordi møtet med denne salen 10. november 2005, står for meg som et av de aller fineste minnene i mitt liv som politiker.
It was my first opportunity to speak about the visions behind our High North policy, what we envisaged, and why this policy was so important for North Norway and for the country as a whole.
Det var den første anledningen jeg fikk til å snakke om visjonene for nordområdepolitikken, om hva vi så for oss og hvorfor dette var så viktig for landsdelen og så viktig for hele Norge.
After 40 years of negotiations, the Norwegian and Russian negotiators reached agreement on the maritime delimitation line.
Etter 40 år så ble den norske og russiske forhandlingsdelegasjonen enige om delelinjen.
It was high time.
Det er på tide.
Norway and Russia are demonstrating what can be achieved when we pull in the same direction, when we trust each other sufficiently to conclude an agreement, when we take the time to envisage what opportunities a new paradigm of cooperation can generate.
Norge og Russland viser nå hva som er mulig når vi trekker sammen, hva som er mulig når vi har tilstrekkelig tillit til å inngå en avtale, når vi bruker tid til å se for oss hvilke muligheter en ny generasjon samarbeid kan gi.
Finding a solution to the issue of maritime delimitation has been a clear objective of the Government’s High North policy.
Det har vært et klart mål for regjeringens nordområdestrategi å finne en løsning på denne saken.
We have now fulfilled this objective.
Nå har vi levert.
But we will not stop here.
Men vi er ikke ved slutten.
Seen in a historical perspective, this agreement – together with everything we have achieved in the past few years – is the start of an era of development and value creation for generations to come.
I et historisk perspektiv markerer denne enigheten – sammen med alt annet som er oppnådd de siste årene – starten på en epoke for utvikling og verdiskaping for generasjoner.
We must remember that the delimitation line itself does not generate value.
For husk: Grensen i seg selv skaper ikke verdier.
It is our ability to motivate, organise and realise opportunities for value creation that have the potential to provide a new boost in the north.
Det er vår evne til å motivere, organisere og utløse muligheter for verdiskaping og arbeid som kan gi nye løft i nord.
My message today is the following, my friends: pulling in the same direction can unleash great potential.
Og her kjære venner, her ligger budskapet mitt i dag: Potensialet i å trekke sammen.
Let me repeat what I said then, in 2005: our High North Strategy will only be successful if we pull in the same direction, if we resist the petty temptation of reaping short-term gains by turning against each other – northern Norway against southern Norway, county against county, east against west within counties, public sector against private sector, industry against industry.
Jeg sa det den gang – i 2005 – og vil gjenta det her: Nordområdesatsingen vil bare lykkes om vi trekker sammen, om vi motstår den deprimerende fristelsen det er å få en kortsiktig gevinst ved å vende oss mot hverandre, landsdel mot landsdel, fylke mot fylke, øst-fylke mot vest-fylke, offentlig mot privat, næring mot næring.
We know that these perspectives appear in the story of Norway from time to time.
Vi vet at slike perspektiver dukker opp fra tid til annen i fortellingen om Norge.
But we also know other elements of this story: the ability to stand united behind a vision – a story of development, employment, welfare and culture, a story of solidarity and common effort.
Men vi kjenner også igjen noe annet i denne fortellingen; evnen til å samles bak en visjon, en fortelling om utvikling, arbeid, velferd og kultur – solidritet og felles løft.
It is all about pulling in the same direction.
Som utviklingen av olje og gassindustrien.
This complex task is so important, so inspiring and so feasible!
Trekke sammen altså – intet mindre – så komplekst, så sammensatt – så viktig, så spennende og så mulig!
We can decide to let our efforts in the High North become a new chapter in this story.
Vi kan avgjøre at Nordområdesatsingen blir et nytt kapittel i en slik historie.
Illustration: lines from the poem “North” against a background of a road in Lofoten
(Illustrasjon: Linjer fra diktet ”Nord” av Rolf Jacobsen på et bakgrunnsbilde (vei i Lofoten))
The potted version of the story of the High North is as follows:
Kortversjonen av nordområdefortellingen er denne:
· Firstly, the High North is the Government’s number one foreign policy priority.
For det første: Nordområdesatsingen er regjeringens viktigste strategiske satsing i utenrikspolitikken.
This is the part of Norway’s neighbouring areas where most change is taking place, where we have the most interests to safeguard, and where we have both a responsibility and the ability to make a difference.
Dette er den delen av Norges nærområder der mest er i forandring, der vi har avgjørende interesser å ivareta, og der vi har både ansvar og muligheter til å gjøre en forskjell.
Over the past four or five years we have taken important steps in this direction.
De fire-fem årene har vi tatt viktige steg på denne veien.
We have taken on a leading role internationally.
Vi har tatt et internasjonalt lederskap.
Now people associate the concept of the High North with Norway.
The High North er nå assosiert med Norge.
We have launched measures that are being implemented through national and regional plans and budgets.
Vi har satt i gang satsinger som følges opp i nasjonale og regionale planer og budsjetter.
Illustration: New Building Blocks in the North
(Illustrasjon: ”Nye byggesteiner”)
We are now making use of these building blocks, one by one.
Nå settes byggesteinene ut, én for én.
I am still responsible for coordinating our High North policy.
Jeg har fortsatt et samordningsansvar for nordområdepolitikken.
There is no single minister that is responsible for the High North.
Men vi har ikke én statsråd med ansvar for nordområdene.
All of my colleagues in the government can therefore be considered to be “ministers for the High North” within their respective fields.
Alle mine kolleger er å anse som nordområdeministere, på sine felt.
It is stimulating and rewarding to work in this vast policy area.
Det er spennende og givende å jobbe med dette store saksfeltet.
Through these years I have been accompanied by the interest and enthusiasm of the people in North Norway in particular, but also of people in other parts of the country – including in the Oslo Labour Party, which I myself belong to – and even of people abroad, including colleagues, the media and interested forums.
En fast følgesvenn i disse årene har vært interessen og entusiasmen, her i nord selvfølgelig – men i alle deler av landet – helt til mitt eget partilag i Oslo Arbeiderparti – og ut av landet, til kolleger, medier og interesserte forsamlinger.
I must admit that I have sometimes wondered whether I made the right choice a few years ago, and I have kept a cutting of an article in the newspaper Nordlys, in which I was encouraged to stand for the Troms Labour Party in the parliamentary elections.
Ja, jeg må innrømme at jeg har lurt litt på om jeg valgte rett for et par år siden – og jeg har klippet ut den artikkelen fra Nordlys den sommeren hvor jeg ble oppfordret til å stille for Troms Ap til Stortinget...
Did I make the right choice?
– Gjorde jeg det rette?
I have concluded that just as it is possible to focus on two thoughts at the same time, it must be possible to have two objects of affection in one’s heart at the same time.
– Men jeg har kommet til at på samme måte som det går an å ha to tanker i hodet samtidig, så må det gå an å ha to kjærligheter i hjertet på samme tid.
When I look back, I see that we have come far.
Når jeg ser meg tilbake ser jeg at vi har kommet langt.
I see that our vision is being filled with content, piece by piece – as is the case for all social development.
At visjonen fylles med innhold – skritt for skritt, som all samfunnsbygging.
But history is never all linear and harmonious.
Men historien er aldri rettlinjet eller harmonisk.
That is how our democracy works.
Slik fungerer vårt demokrati.
I have also been accompanied by an impatience for results and breakthroughs.
En annen følgesvenn har vært utålmodigheten etter resultater og gjennombrudd.
I face a barrage of questions that are way beyond my area of responsibility – together with proposals, complaints and demands.
Jeg mottar bunkevis av henvendelser med spørsmål som ligger mange politiske breddegrader utenfor mitt ansvarsområde; forslag, klager og etterlysninger.

Once a boundary is established, there is no end to what we can cooperate on.
Når det kommer en grense, så er det knapt grenser for hva vi kan samarbeide om.
But opportunities are not created by a single government decision, a single allocation or the discovery of a single oil and gas field.
Men det er ikke et enkelt regjeringsvedtak, en enkelt bevilgning eller oppdagelsen av et enkelt olje og gassfelt som skaper mulighetene.
We must not expect someone else to come up with the solution.
Vi kan ikke tenke slik at noen andre skal komme med løsningen.
We must give each other the trust, inspiration and space to unleash the many forces that need to pull in the same direction in order to make a difference.
Vi må gi hverandre trygghet, inspirasjon og rom til å utløse alle de mange kreftene som må løfte sammen for å gjøre en forskjell.
Yesterday’s front page of the newspaper Nordlys quoted Hans Olav Karde of SpareBank1 saying: “Now it is all up to us”.
Jeg har lyst til å sitere Hans Olav Karde i SpareBank1 Nord-Norge som over førstesiden av Nordlys i går sier; ”Nå er alt opp til oss”.
That is true, but Mr Karde and everybody else can rest assured that the government authorities will do their part.
– Ja, men Karde og alle andre kan regne med at statlige myndigheter stiller opp.
However, I agree with Mr Karde when he says: “It is definitively not the job of the Prime Minister or Foreign Minister to come up here to establish companies that can trade with Russia.
Men så er jeg helt enig med Karde når han sier dette: Det er definitivt ikke statsministeren og utenriksministerens oppgave å komme opp hit og etablere bedrifter som samhandler med Russland.
That is our job.”
Det er vår jobb.
That is well put.
Klokt sagt.
This is a challenge to everybody in our country, and here I naturally include the government authorities.
Den utfordringen går til alle i landet, og da inkluderer jeg selvsagt statlige myndigheter.
But I want to focus on the larger story.
Men jeg vil holde fast ved fortellingen.
I have often spoken about the three driving forces of this story.
Og jeg har ofte snakket om de tre drivere i denne historien:
First, there is Russia.
For det første: Russland.
Illustration: Russia
(Illustrasjon: Russland)
Russia is no longer the Soviet Union.
Russland – som ikke lenger er Sovjetunionen.
Now we see more clearly what a fundamental change this has caused, although there was increasing openness in the final years of the Soviet Union.
Nå ser vi med større klarhet hvilken fundamental forandring det har vært, selv om åpningene begynte i Sovjetunionens tid.
In a historical perspective we – Norway and Russia – are still in a phase of “rediscovering” each other.
I et historisk perspektiv er vi – Norge og Russland – fortsatt i en fase der vi gjenoppdager hverandre.
The border where East met West, the border where NATO faced the Warsaw Pact, is now the border between the neighbouring people of Norway and Russia.
Grensen der vest møtte øst, Nato sto mot Warszawa-pakten, er nå grensen mellom nabofolkene, Norge og Russland.
So, Russia is one of the driving forces.
Dette er den ene driveren – Russland.
The second driving force is climate change.
Den andre driveren – klima.
Illustration: climate change
(Illustrasjon: Klima)
The High North offers a front-row seat for observing climate change.
Nordområdene byr på orkesterplass for klimaendringene.
We see that the ice is melting.
Vi kan se at isen smelter.
We see that maritime traffic along our coast is increasing.
Vi kan se at trafikken langs kysten øker.
We can virtually hear the ships passing.
Vi kan formelig høre lyden av fartøy.
(True, Jan Gunnar Winther, so far not the sound of a research vessel, but of many others.)
– Ja, Jan Gunnar Winther, ikke forskningsfartøy ennå, men mange andre...
But that fact that we have a front-row seat does not mean that we are passive observers.
Men orkesterplass betyr ikke at vi passivt skal sitte stille å se på.
The message here is a dramatic one.
Utgangspunktet her handler jo om et dramatisk budskap:
It is in the north we are getting the strongest reminders of why the world needs to act to address climate change.
I nord får vi de sterkeste påminnelser om hvorfor verden må handle mot klimaendringene.
We bring this knowledge with us to the international conferences, meetings and groups of experts we participate in.
Den kunnskapen tar vi med oss til de internasjonale konferansene, møtene og ekspertgruppene.
We are seeing a growing awareness of how a warmer climate will affect human activity – creating new challenges and opportunities – particularly for the coastal states in the north.
Vi opplever også en oppvåkning til hvordan et varmere klima endrer vilkårene for menneskers virke – med utfordringer og muligheter – ikke minst for kyststatene i nord.
And for the indigenous peoples.
– Og ikke minst for urfolkene.
The third driving force is resources.
For det tredje: Ressurser.
Illustration: resources (Melkøya/Snøhvit)
(Illustrasjon: Ressurser (Melkøya/Snøhvit))
There are both renewable and non-renewable resources.
Fornybare og ikke-fornybare.
