We believe that having a strong and predictable military presence enables us to protect our interests and respond appropriately to other countries that are doing just that – through their defence, their foreign policy, their diplomacy, their security policy, and their trade policy.
– Fordi vi mener at gjennom å ha et solid og forutsigbart militært nærvær, har vi også evne til å ivareta våre interesser og møte andre land som gjør nøyaktig det samme; med sitt forsvar, med sin utenrikspolitikk, sitt diplomati, sin sikkerhetspolitikk, sin handelspolitikk.
As you know, there is one country that has not ratified the Law of the Sea, namely the US.
Som kjent er det ett land som ikke har ratifisert den, nemlig USA.
The US has chosen to take a rather “unusual” approach: it intends to fulfil all its obligations under the Law of the Sea, but not demand the rights it affords.
USA har jo valgt den noe "underlige holdning" at de skal leve opp til alle sine forpliktelser etter havretten, men ikke kreve sine rettigheter etter havretten.
That’s obviously their choice.
Dem om det.
We see, in any case, that they have repeatedly reaffirmed that the principles of the Law of the Sea must be adhered to.
Vi konstaterer i hvert fall at de gjentatte ganger har bekreftet at det er havrettens prinsipper som gjelder.
And we are glad of that.
Det setter vi pris på.
For the rest of us – Canada, Russia, Denmark, Norway – the Law of the Sea has long been our departure point.
Vi andre: Canada, Russland, Danmark, Norge, har jo lenge langt havretten til grunn.
However, lawyers can sometimes disagree, in both national and international law.
Men så er det slik, i både nasjonal og internasjonal rett, at jurister av og til er uenige.
Purely “by chance”, the Norwegian lawyers’ interpretation favoured Norwegian interests, while the Russian lawyers reached a more Russia-friendly interpretation.
"Tilfeldigvis" var det slik at de norske juristene hadde en forståelse som var mer vennlig mot norske interesser og de russiske mot russiske interesser.
Over the years, a strong body of law has been developed, which was also drawn on.
Det ble etablert en stadig sterkere rettslig praksis og den ble også da lagt til grunn.
Our agreement with Russia is, in itself, an example of the application of international law in practice, and is thus an addition to the growing body of law that underpins the Law of the Sea.
Vår egen avtale med Russland er jo i seg selv også et uttrykk for en rettslig praksis – og bidrar til den empirien som bygger og opprettholder havretten.
But I am also convinced that all the countries in the High North, including Russia, have a strong interest in respecting these principles.
Men jeg er svært overbevist om at alle landene i nord, inkludert Russland, har en sterk egeninteresse i å respektere prinsippene.
In 2005, when the present coalition government came to power and drew up its first policy platform, the High North was identified as Norway’s most important strategic foreign policy priority for the years ahead.
Da vi i 2005 overtok regjeringsmakten og lagde regjeringsplattformen Soria Moria I, sa vi at nordområdene er Norges viktigste strategiske satsingsområde i årene som kommer.
This decision was not unanimously welcomed.
Det var ikke unisont velkomment da.
Now we get the impression that everyone agreed, but that was not in fact the case.
Nå er det slik – at alle snakker som om alle var enige – men sånn var det faktisk ikke.
Do you know what you are doing?
Vet dere hva dere gjør?
Wouldn’t it be better to draw less attention to this region?
Er det ikke bedre å ikke lage så mye oppmerksomhet?
What will the Russians say?
Hva vil russerne si?
But we believe that it was the right thing to do, and looking back I am convinced that it was the right decision.
Men vi mener at det var riktig – og jeg mener sterkt at tiden etterpå har vist at det var fornuftig og at det var riktig.
We have also wanted to prevent the creation of a “security policy vacuum”.
Vi har også vært opptatt av å bidra til at det ikke skulle oppstå noe "sikkerhetspolitisk vakuum".
There was another excellent article in Nordland – which I seem to be plugging rather a lot today – by Per Erik Solli, who rightly points out that security policy in the High North has changed.
Det er en annen meget god kronikk i Avisa Nordland – som jeg driver mye reklame for i dag – av Per Erik Solli, som påpeker det helt riktige faktum at sikkerhetspolitikken i nord har endret karakter.
You should read it – I agree with everything he says.
Les den – alt som står der er jeg enig i.
Let me say a little more about our relations with Russia.
La meg si litt mer om forholdet til Russland.
We don’t agree about everything.
Vi er ikke enige om alt.
Indeed it is well known that we disagree about several things.
Det er kjente uenigheter om flere ting.
This cooperation is wide-ranging, and is working.
Det er et omfattende sett av samarbeid og det fungerer.
For example, as a result of our joint management regime we have one of the world’s best preserved and richest fish stocks.
Blant annet klarer vi å forvalte en av verdens best bevarte og rikeste fiskebestander, gjennom å ha et felles regime for hvordan det forvaltes.
This is obviously a good thing.
Det er bra.
There is no doubt that it is in our immediate interests to maintain good neighbourly relations with such a large and important neighbour.
Og det er i umiddelbar, norsk utenrikspolitisk interesse å forvalte et godt naboskap til en stor og viktig nabo.
Right now, a Norwegian–Russian business seminar is being held in Norway – the last one was held in Moscow – and I hear that attendance from both sides of the border is record high.
Akkurat nå er det også et norsk-russisk næringslivsseminar som denne gangen pågår i Norge – sist var det i Moskva – som jeg har fått høre har rekordoppslutning fra næringslivsaktører på begge sider.
So there is a lot going on, and this is good.
– Så det skjer mye, og det er bra.
But at the same time, we are seeing developments in Russia that we must speak up about.
Så er det samtidig slik at vi ser utviklingstrekk i Russland som vi skal si ifra om.
A few days ago, I attended the 35th anniversary of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee.
Jeg var for et par dager siden på Helsingforskomiteens 35 årsjubileum i Norge.
The Norwegian Helsinki Committee was established in 1977, inspired by the Helsinki Treaty of 1975.
Helsingforskomiteen – som jo ble inspirert av Helsingforsavtalen fra 1975 – og som så ble etablert i 1977 i Norge.
There are still challenges in Russia – in terms of the development of democracy, human rights, freedom of the media, respect for minorities and respect for the values that most European countries attach great importance to.
Det er fortsatt utfordringer i Russland – i form av utviklingen av demokratiet, menneskerettigheter, media, respekt for minoriteter og respekt for verdier de fleste europeiske land tar på alvor.
So it is true to say that we have good neighbourly relations and it also true to say that there are issues that we wish to raise.
Begge de tingene er sanne samtidig: Godt naboskap – og utviklingstrekk vi ønsker å påpeke.
Dealing with both these facts in the best possible and clearest way is a central feature of Norwegian foreign policy.
Det er et sentralt poeng i norsk utenrikspolitikk å håndtere begge disse forholdene på en best mulig og tydelig måte.
I would also like to say a few words about emergency preparedness and response and security – beyond the purely military perspective.
Så har jeg lyst å si noen ord om beredskap og sikkerhet – litt utover det militære.
This is an area that I have worked a great deal on; it also is one of the Government’s top priorities, and a key topic in the Norwegian public debate.
Dette har jeg jobbet mye med, og det er et av Regjeringens aller største fokusområder – og et stort tema i Norge generelt.
On the basis of my own experience, I very much agree with Admiral Bruun-Hanssen that cooperation between military and civilian authorities in this area is excellent – particularly in North Norway.
Fra min lange erfaring med alt dette er veldig jeg enig med admiral Bruun-Hanssen: Det er etablert et meget godt samarbeid mellom militære og sivile myndigheter i Norge på det området – ikke minst i nord.
In many ways, the most interesting forms of cooperation are to be found in the north, and the rest of the country could learn from this.
På mange måter kan man si at de mest interessante samarbeidsløsningene er til stede i den nordlige landsdelen – ting vi kan lære av i resten av landet.
So, in that particular setting they are police officers, and they are given police training.
De er altså også politi i den bestemte "setting" de inngår i, og de får politikurs.
This is pretty unusual elsewhere in Europe.
Dette er ganske uvanlig ute i Europa.
But this is how we have done things for a long time now.
Vi har gjort det lenge.
And it works.
Det fungerer.
The Coast Guard operates along the whole coast, but is particularly active in the north.
Kystvakten opererer langs hele kysten, men ikke minst i nord.
I think I am right in saying, Admiral, that the Norwegian Joint Headquarters has some form of interaction with the civilian authorities every day and almost every night.
FOH – jeg tror det er riktig å si, admiral – hver dag og nesten hver natt så har dere en eller annen form for "interaksjon" med en sivil myndighet.
The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre too is frequently in contact with the military authorities.
Hovedredningssentralen – tilsvarende – har veldig ofte kontakt med det militære.
This is because many of the resources that the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre wants to draw on are military ones, and are owned by the Armed Forces.
For mange av ressursene som Hovedredningssentralen her i Bodø ønsker å trekke på, er av militær art, og de eies av Forsvaret.
So it is quite wrong to say that we haven’t understood that we need to cooperate.
Det er altså rett og slett feil at vi ikke har skjønt at vi må samarbeide.
But have I said that we have done enough?
Sa jeg nå at vi er gode nok?
No, I have not!
Nei, jeg sa ikke det.
But that we are already quite far ahead in terms of coordinating efforts.
– Men vi er faktisk allerede ganske avanserte på dette feltet.
Carl Bildt, the Swedish Foreign Minister said – both to us and to several newspapers – that he didn’t think Sweden had come anywhere near as far as Norway in terms of cooperation of this kind.
Carl Bildt, Sveriges utenriksminister, uttalte – både til oss og til flere aviser – at han på ingen måte trodde Sverige var kommet dit hvor Norge er når det gjelder dette samvirket.
So it would be wrong to say that we are beginning from scratch.
– Så det er altså feil at vi begynner "fra scratch".
But it would not be wrong to say that we need to improve, do more, and think more about all these issues.
Men det er ikke feil at vi skal bli bedre, flinkere, gjøre mer og tenke mer på alt dette.
This is why we still need a national effort to improve our capacity in all these areas.
Derfor trenger vi fortsatt et nasjonalt løft for disse tingene.
It’s a new Klondyke, a fight over resources.
Det er det nye Klondyke, det blir kamp om ressursene.
Because we have the necessary institutions and mechanisms to do so.
– Fordi det finnes institusjoner og regimer til å møte dette.
The Arctic Council was already in existence and has since been strengthened.
Arktisk råd eksisterte, og det har blitt styrket.
We have global forums that are just as relevant here as elsewhere.
Så har vi globale fora – som er like relevante her som andre steder.
We have institutions that can resolve questions about shipping standards, shipping routes, etc.
Spørsmål om kvalitet på skip, seilingsleder – den type spørsmål – har vi institusjoner til å løse.
We don’t need to create anything new.
Vi må ikke finne opp noe nytt.
We can use what we already have.
Vi bruker det vi har.
The Arctic is, after all, an ocean.
For Arktis er jo et hav.
I don’t need to tell people in Norway that, but it is still necessary to remind people in Brussels and other places of this fact.
Det er ikke nødvendig å fortelle om det i Norge – men det er det faktisk fortsatt viktig å si i Brussel og mange andre steder.
The Arctic and Antarctica are two quite different things.
Det er to helt forskjellige ting.
Not only are they very far away from each other; they are also quite different.
– Ikke bare er de veldig langt fra hverandre – men det er altså to helt forskjellige ting.
Using Antarctica as a model to understand the Arctic will not get anyone very far.
De som nå lar seg inspirere av Antarktis for å skjønne Arktis, de skjønner ikke mye.
But the fact that it was set out in plain words was of political importance.
– Men det var politisk viktig å få sagt det der.
This marked the beginning of the end of a period where everyone talked about potential conflicts.
Det var egentlig begynnelsen på slutten på perioden der alle snakket om "kommende konflikter".
We have been able to clarify a number of outstanding maritime delimitation issues, including the outer limits of our continental shelf, because international law works.
Vi har fått avklart en rekke utestående grensespørsmål; for eksempel alle Norges utestående grensespørsmål, kontinentalsokkelens ytterste grenser – fordi folkeretten virker.
And we make use of international law.
Vi anvender folkeretten.
Our High North policy in the sea areas entails the application of international law on a daily basis.
Nordområdepolitikken til havs er jo daglig anvendelse av folkeretten.
The Arctic Council has become a leading international arena for Arctic issues.
Vi har fått Arktisk råd til å bli en ledende internasjonal arena for arktiske spørsmål.
A permanent secretariat will be established in Tromsø in 2013.
Et permanent sekretariat etableres i Tromsø i 2013.
This cooperation is dynamic.
Det er en bra dynamikk i dette samarbeidet.
It is an exciting and important area, and one that we will continue to work on.
Det er spennende og viktig – og det er det viktig å gjøre mer av.
It is 20 years since the Kirkenes Declaration, which formed the basis for the Barents cooperation, was signed.
I mai neste år vil Kirkenes-erklæringen, som la grunnlaget for Barentssamarbeidet, fylle 20 år.
We have taken the initiative for a new meeting in Kirkenes – 20 years later – to celebrate all that has been achieved and to draw up a new declaration with a view to the future.
Vi har da tatt initiativet til å møtes igjen i Kirkenes, 20 år etter, for å feire det som er oppnådd, for å lage en ny erklæring og se framover.
As early as in 1993, just after the fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, Thorvald Stoltenberg was perceptive enough to realise that the East–West issue, which was changing, becoming more diffuse, had to be addressed not only along the Oslo–Moscow axis, but also in a regional context.
Thorvald Stoltenberg hadde jo på et meget tidlig tidspunkt den svært fornuftige idéen at tilnærmingen mellom det som var øst og vest – og som nå var i ferd med å bli noe annet, noe "diffust", i 1993 – som jo var like etter Warszawapaktens og Sovjetunionens fall – det måtte man ikke bare møte i aksen Oslo-Moskva, men også regionalt.
This always happens as soon as a new foreign policy initiative is launched.
Det skjer jo omtrent ti minutter etter at man kommer med et nytt utenrikspolitisk initiativ.
But the Barents cooperation has been a huge success.
Men: det har jo vært en kjempesuksess.
This is a good thing, and it is important to bear this in mind.
Det er spennende – det er viktig – og det er bra.
Over now to the geopolitical theme that is the main subject of this conference.
Så over til det geopolitiske temaet som er et hovedfokus for konferansen.
The fact is that we are not the only ones who are “discovering” the north.
Det er slik at det ikke bare er vi som "oppdager" nord.
Nor is it just Russia – or the US.
Det er heller ikke bare Russland – eller USA.
The rest of the world is discovering it too.
Det gjør også resten av verden.
This is reflected in the growing interest in observer status in the Arctic Council.
Det ser vi for eksempel ved en økende interesse for å få observatørstatus i Arktisk råd.
China, of course, but also Japan, South Korea, and even Singapore, where the climate can hardly be described as “Arctic”, are showing interest.
– Det er Kina, selvfølgelig, men det er også Japan, Sør-Korea – og til og med Singapore, hvor klimaet ikke er veldig "arktisk", som nå viser interesse.
Many of these countries see long-term strategic opportunities, not least the prospect of a 40 % shorter sea route.
Mange av disse landene ser langsiktige strategiske muligheter, ikke minst knyttet til seiling: Førti prosent kortere sjørute.
And there are also natural resources and other opportunities in the north that we have to consider.
Og det er også ressurser og muligheter der oppe som vi må forholde oss til.
So I believe we have a solid framework in place, but it has to be managed.
Så jeg mener at vi har skapt et solid rammeverk.
Sound management entails safeguarding rights and interests in a sensible way on a day-to-day basis.
Fornuftig forvaltning – fornuftig ivaretakelse av rettigheter og interesser – på daglig basis.
How this policy is pursued will change according to different circumstances and different times.
Hvordan den utøves, vil tilpasses skiftende omstendigheter og skiftende tider.
These are exciting prospects, and a great deal has happened already.
– Det er veldig spennende – og det har det skjedd masse allerede.
Who would have thought that possible a few years ago?
Hvem hadde trodde det for noen år siden?
The silica to be found in Nordland is one example, but there are many other exciting opportunities.
I Nordland, for eksempel – silisium – men det er også mange andre spennende muligheter her.
There are also major opportunities for fisheries.
Det er også store muligheter for fiskeriene.
This is in contrast to the management policies of certain others, which have been found not to work.
– Dette i særlig kontrast til enkelte andres forvaltningspolitikk, som har bevist at den ikke virker.
I am glad that the budget proposal includes the highest allocation for the High North so far – a couple of billion kroner.
Så er jeg glad for at dette statsbudsjettet legger fram den romsligste nordområdebevilgningen så langt, på et par milliarder kroner.
But I would nevertheless like to emphasise that the most important thing is the vision, the opportunities, the framework, the huge potential that exists up here.
Men jeg vil likevel si at det viktigste er den visjonen, de mulighetene, det rammeverket, det enorme potensialet, som ligger her oppe.
This shows that, although the Law of the Sea applies to all seas, it only works if it is respected.
– Som jo viser at havretten gjelder for alle hav.
That is why I say that we need many types of resources.
Det er derfor jeg sier at vi trenger mange typer ressurser.
Security in the High North – Are we prepared?
Sikkerhet i nord - er vi forberedt?
