Studies have shown that a country’s reputation remain surprisingly entrenched.
Forskerne viser at et lands omdømme ligger overraskende fast.
Great clarity and perseverance are needed to build a national image.
Det krever stor tydelighet og tålmodighet i å bygge et nasjonalt omdømme.
But changes do take place.
Men endringer skjer.

What effect is this having on us, on Norway?
Hva gjør det med oss, med Norge?
Our wealth is becoming visible, even conspicuous.
Vår rikdom blir synlig, demonstrativt synlig.
How do we want to be seen in this connection?
Hvordan vil vi fremstå med den?
Kristin Clemet is right – we are a rich nation.
Kristin Clemet har altså rett i at vi er en rik nasjon.
From a historical perspective, this is a new phenomenon for Norway; it is affecting our self-image and, gradually, our reputation.
Det er i historisk sammenheng et nytt fenomen for Norge, vårt selvbilde og gradvis for vårt omdømme.
Our willingness to take responsibility and to help people who are less fortunate than ourselves should be a source of inspiration to others.

If we can take a leading role in the efforts to ensure that all the world’s children have access to vaccination programmes, we will pull our full weight.
Kan vi ta lederskap i å sikre vaksiner til alle verdens barn, ja da skal vi satse så det monner.
If we can continue to be a leading humanitarian actor, providing help for people in need, then we will do that too.
Kan vi fortsette å være en ledende aktør innen humanitær bistand til mennesker i nød, ja da skal vi greie også det.
And if we are able to act as advocate for the UN, then we will speak out with a clear voice.
Kan vi stå opp som en tydelig støttespiller for FN, ja da skal vi gjøre det.
What really would be nasty would be introducing a policy that halved the allocations for development cooperation and cut the funding for peace and reconciliation.
Det virkelig ekle ville være gjennomslag for en politikk som vil halvere norsk bistand og slette bevilgninger til alt arbeid for fred og forsoning.
And if anyone is wondering whether that could ever happen, they should read the Progress Party’s programme and budget proposal.
Om noen lurer på om det kan skje, kan de lese Fremskrittspartiets program og deretter forslag til budsjett.
Our self-image will vary because the values it is based on vary.
Derfor vil de variere, fordi verdiene vi legger til grunn for våre bilder varierer.
I do not understand what it is about Norway that Ms Clement finds nasty, or what it is about EU membership that would make us less nasty.
Det er uklart for meg hva Clemet mener er ekkelt ved Norge, og hva det er ved medlemskapet i EU som vil gjøre oss mindre ekle.
What she considers quixotic, I would describe as a willingness to change.
Det hun mener ikke er realitetsorientert, kan for meg fremstå som en vilje til forandring.
So we see that our self-image and our reputation can stimulate debate and political standpoints.
På denne måten stimulerer både selvbilder og omdømme til debatt om politiske valg.
And this is a debate that I welcome!
Og den debatten ønsker jeg velkommen!
Does our self-image match our reputation?
Stemmer selvbildet med omdømmet?
