And on 21 June 1907, the Norse Federation is founded.
Og 21. juni 1907 stiftes altså Nordmanns-Forbundet.
What was the picture in Norway then?
Hva preges tidsbildet av i Norge?
They took with them half the excess of births.
De tok med seg halvparten av fødselsoverskuddet.
In relation to the population, the emigration from Norway was one of the highest in Europe.
I forhold til folketallet, var utvandringen fra Norge blant de høyeste i Europa.
Indeed a number of communities in Agder and Rogaland still have a lower population than they did 100 years ago.
En del bygder og områder i Agder og Rogaland har fremdeles i dag et lavere folketall enn for 100 år siden.
This is a higher figure than in countries like Sweden, Great Britain and the US.
Det var flere enn for eksempel i Sverige, Storbritannia og USA.
In 1905 a servant girl earned 133 kroner a year.
En årslønn for en tjenestejente var i 1905 på 133 kroner.
The wages for a first engineer at sea were 178 kroner – a month.
Lønnen til en førstemaskinist til sjøs var 178 kroner, i måneden.
Norway was a poor country and there was great social disparity.
Norge var et fattig land og forskjellene var store.
The backdrop, the motivation behind the establishment of the Norse Federation in 1907 remains relevant for us and our value choices today.
Bakteppet og motivet for å stifte Nordmanns-Forbundet i 1907 rører ved spørsmål som også preger vår egen tid i dag – og verdivalg.
The Federation has its roots in issues related to identity and openness.
Det handler om identitet og om åpenhet.
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson was “high and low” in the building of the Norwegian nation and its institutions, and he had more than one finger in the pie when the Norse Federation was established.
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson var ”høyt og lavt” i norsk nasjonsbygging og institusjonsbygging - og hadde mer enn én finger med i spillet da Nordmanns-Forbundet ble stiftet.
Bjørnson spoke and wrote in capital letters, and he urged Norwegians who travelled to other countries to take their national identity with them and let the world see what it meant to be Norwegian.
Bjørnson snakket og skrev i store bokstaver, og hans visjon var at nordmenn som reiste ut skulle bringe med seg og tydeliggjøre sine særtrekk ved det å være norsk.
He wanted them to bring new input, new ideals to the countries they settled in.
Ja, de skulle bidra til endring og nye idealer, i utlandet.
He wanted them to embrace their new fatherland and at the same time retain their own identity.
De skulle omfavne sitt nye fedreland og samtidig bevare sin identitet.
There need not be any contradiction here.
Ingen motsetning i det.
The Norse Federation has members on every continent, and it is far more than a preserver of Norwegian traditions.
Nordmanns-Forbundet favner norskættede i alle verdensdeler, og foreningen er langt mer enn en tradisjonsbærer.
In its publications and on its webpages I can read news from chapters in New Orleans, Madrid, London, New Zealand and – of course – the Midwest: Red River Valley, Minneapolis, Northfield, Decorah.
I foreningens blader og på nettsider leser jeg nytt fra avdelinger i New Orleans, Madrid, London, New Zealand og naturligvis fra Midtvesten – Red River Valley, Minneapolis, Northfield, Decorah.
And it is natural to look towards the US as the most important country for the federation and for Norwegians who have left their homeland, for there were thousands – indeed more than a million – who followed in the wake of the 52 hopeful souls onboard Restaurationen in 1825.
Og det er naturlig å se til USA som det viktigste landet for Nordmanns-Forbundet og for nordmenn som reiste ut, de titusener – ja, over en million – som fulgte i hundreåret i kjølvannet av 52 håpefulle sjeler ombord på sluppen ”Restaurationen” i 1825.
Times change.
Tidene endrer seg.
Today there are more Norwegian students in Australia than in the US, and the Norwegian colonies in Spain are larger than many Norwegian villages.
I dag er det flere unge norske studenter i Australia enn i USA og de norske koloniene i Spania er større enn norske småbyer.
Students and other young Norwegians must be allowed to travel and study where they choose.
Studenter og andre unge nordmenn må få studere og reise akkurat hvor de vil.
But we regret that fewer are going to the US to study.
Men vi ønsker ikke det utviklingstrekk vi har sett der færre studerer i USA.
Another reason is that students abroad build bridges and create ties.
Fordi de som studerer der bygger broer og knytter bånd.
So all positive Norwegian-American forces and networks must pull together and seek to encourage more students to study in the US.
Her må alle gode norsk-amerikanske krefter og nettverk trekke sammen for å oppmuntre og støtte nettopp dette.
I am delighted that Ben Whitney, the US Ambassador in Oslo has directed attention to how the process of becoming a student in the US can be simplified.
Og jeg er glad for at USAs ambassadør i Oslo, Ben Whitney, har satt fokus på hvordan selve prosessen med å bli student i USA kan bli enklere.
The main task of the Norse Federation – the key as I see it – is to continue to act as a link between Norway and Norwegian communities abroad, to spread knowledge, information and understanding, and to encourage participation.
Hovedoppgaven – nøkkelen slik jeg ser det - er fortsatt å være bindeledd mellom Norge og ulike miljøer ute – og spre kunnskap, informasjon, forståelse – og deltakelse.
This is done differently in 2007 than it was in 1907.
Det gjøres annerledes i 2007 enn i 1907.
But one factor remains unchanged – the rock solid importance of people-to-people ties.
Men én faktor er konstant – ”rock solid” – betydningen av de menneskelige relasjoner.
When he was a young boy during the Second World War, His Majesty the King spent five long years as a guest of the US.
Under Den annen verdenskrig tilbrakte Hans Majestet Kongen som gutt fem lange krigsår som USAs gjest.
And again and again we return to the most important factor: people.
Og alltid gjelder dette: Det handler om mennesker.
Words such as “connections” and “ties” can sound abstract.
For ofte kan ”forbindelser” og ”bånd” virke som abstrakte begreper.
It is you who fill the concept of “special relationship” with meaning, with confidence.
Dere fyller dette ”special relationship” med innhold, med et tillitsforhold.
I have another message that I feel is relevant on an occasion such as today’s – a message about us and about the future.
Så har jeg ett budskap til, ved en anledning som denne – og det handler om oss og det handler om tiden som kommer:
The Norse Federation’s centenary is a good opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of maintaining identity, fostering understanding and being open.
Nordmanns-Forbundets jubileum og rolle synliggjør hvor viktig det er å bevare identitet, skape forståelse – og vise åpenhet.
This is a challenge that millions of migrants are facing all over the world today, and that their host countries are also facing.
Dette er utfordringer millioner av immigranter møter også i dag, og som nasjonene møter som vertskap for nye landsmenn.
Yesterday was World Refugee Day.
I går markerte vi verdens Flyktningedag.
It was a stark reminder of a desperate, brutal world.
Vi fikk nye blikk inn i en fortvilet og brutal verden.
We see the same desperation in people who are reaching out to us, people who are looking towards Norway in fear of their lives.
Fortvilelsen ser vi også hos mennesker tett på oss – mennesker som søker mot Norge, i frykt for sine liv.
The idea of emigrants taking their traditions, knowledge and national identity with them to their new home countries – which Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson attached such importance to – takes us right into the debate on integration in our own country, our own city, today.
Tanken om at utvandrere tar med seg tradisjoner, kunnskap og særtrekk som beriker deres nye hjemland – ja, slik Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson definerte oppgaven – den griper - interessant nok – rett inn i debatten om integrering i vårt land, i vår by, i dag.
The integration, in other words, of our new countrymen.
Altså integrering av våre egne ”nye landsmenn”.
A country where Mohammad is one of the most popular names for boys born in the capital city.
Et Norge hvor Mohammad er et av de mest populære navn for nyfødte gutter i Oslo.
Dear Friends, Your Majesty,
Kjære venner, Deres Majestet,
The Norse Federation has taught me three things.
Nordmanns-Forbundets hundreårsmarkering lærer meg følgende tre ting:
Firstly, the importance of diversity and openness.
For det første: Verdien av mangfold og åpenhet.
Thirdly, that all the communities the Norse Federation represents have played an important role in the Norwegian authorities’ relations with the US, Canada and many, many other countries.
For det tredje: Alle de miljøer Nordmanns-Forbundet representerer har vært og er en betydelig ressurs for norske myndigheters forhold til USA, Canada og mange, mange andre land.
We have developed a relationship of trust.
Dere utgjør tillitsforholdet.
We all tell a story of who we are and who we could be.
We all tell a story of who we are and who we could be.
And, I would like to add, we are all living together with our common history.
And I would like to add: together, we are living with our common history.
We have all this to bring with us into the future.
With all of this baggage we are facing the future.

Blair and Stoltenberg open gas pipeline from Norway to the UK
Stoltenberg og Blair åpner gassrørledning fra Norge til Storbritannia
No.: 143-06 Date: 16 October 2006
Nr.: 143-06 Dato: 16.10.06
I am pleased and proud that Norway is able to offer the UK a secure and reliable supply of energy, said Jens Stoltenberg at the opening of the Langeled gas pipeline.
Og jeg er fornøyd og stolt av at Norge er en sikker og pålitelig energileverandør til Storbritannia, sier statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
Stoltenberg opened the gas pipeline together with the British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Hydro’s President and CEO Eivind Reiten.
Stoltenberg åpnet rørledningen sammen med den britiske statsministeren Tony Blair og Hydros konsernsjef Eivind Reiten.
Langeled is 1 200 km long and thereby the world's longest subsea pipeline.
Langeled er 1 200 km lang, og er dermed verdens lengste undersjøiske rørledning.
The pipeline has a capacity of 20 billion cubic metres of gas per year which is about one fifth of UK gas demand.
Rørledningen har en kapasitet på 20 milliarder kubikkmeter gass årlig, noe som tilsvarer om lag en femtedel av Storbritannias gassbehov.
It is the southern part of Langeled which is now in operation.
Det er den sørlige delen av Langeled som nå er satt i drift.
Langeled South has a diameter of 44" and goes from the riser platform at the Sleipner field in the North Sea to the receiving terminal in Easington on the UK's East coast.
Langeled sør har en diameter på 44” og strekker seg fra stigerørsplattformen ved Sleipner-feltet i Nordsjøen til mottaksanlegget i Easington på østkysten av Storbritannia.
Langeled strengthens Norway's role as a stable and reliable supplier of energy to Europe.
Langeled bidrar til å befeste Norges posisjon som en sikker og pålitelig leverandør av energi til Europa.

'We congratulate our Finnish friends and neighbours on this important anniversary.
- Vi gratulerer våre finske venner og naboer med deres store jubileum, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The theme of Finland's centenary celebration is 'Together'.
Sammen er Finlands motto for jubileet.
In connection with the centenary, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has allocated NOK 750 000 for a Norwegian sculpture, to be placed at Hanaholmen cultural centre, just outside Helsinki.
I anledning 100-årsjubileeet har Utenriksdepartementet bevilget 750.000 kroner til en norsk skulptur ved Hanaholmen kultursenter utenfor Helsingfors.
Finland's Honorary Consul General in Oslo, Christian Bjelland, will be involved in the project.
Finlands honorære generalkonsul i Oslo, Christian Bjelland, vil også bidra til prosjektet.
The sculpture will be placed in a small outdoor Nordic sculpture park on the theme of the seasons.
Skulpturen vil inngå i en liten utendørs nordisk skulpturpark over temaet årstidene.
Hanaholmen has recently been renovated and will be re-opened when the Nordic heads of state visit Finland on 1 June to mark the centenary.
Et nyrenovert Hanaholmen gjenåpnes under de nordiske statsoverhodenes jubileumsbesøk i Finland 1. juni.
Former NTNU professor Maaretta Jaukkuri is curator of the project and will play a central role in choosing a Norwegian sculptor and sculpture.
Tidligere professor ved NTNU, Maaretta Jaukkuri, er kurator for prosjektet og vil stå sentralt i utvelgelsen av norsk kunstner og skulptur.
She has in-depth knowledge in this area, not least due to her involvement in the project Artscape Nordland.
Hun har inngående kunnskap om Norge på dette området, blant annet gjennom sin befatning med Skulpturlandskap Nordland.
The sculpture is expected to be in place in 2018.
Skulpturen ventes å være på plass i løpet av 2018.
This means that our gift to our neighbours is a symbol of both Norwegian-Finnish and Nordic links,' said Mr Brende.
Det gir vår gave til vår kjære nabo både en norsk-finsk og en nordisk symbolikk, sier utenriksministeren.
In connection with the Finnish centenary, the Ministry of Culture has decided to inject an additional NOK 2 million into the Norwegian part of the Norwegian-Finnish Cultural Fund.
Kulturdepartementet har i anledning jubileet besluttet å styrke den norske delen av Norsk-finsk kulturfond med to millioner kroner.
The Fund supports cooperation projects between Norway and Finland, primarily in the field of art and culture.
Fondet støtter norsk-finske samarbeidsprosjekter, hovedsakelig innen kunst og kultur.
