Global Health and Foreign Policy
Helse og utenrikspolitikk
- Why would the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs travel half way around the world to participate in a couple of hours’ debate on health issues in Singapore?
- Hvorfor reiser en norsk utenriksminister halve kloden rundt for å delta på et par timers debatt om helsespørsmål i Singapore?
Prime Minister, Director General, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen,
Statsminister Loong, generaldirektør Chan, eksellenser, mine damer og herrer
Globalisation is rapidly changing the scope of foreign policy and international relations.
Globaliseringen har bidratt til at utenrikspolitikkens innhold og det internasjonale samkvem er i rask endring.
Growing interdependence means that the major challenges we are facing today are common challenges, requiring a concerted response and stronger collaborative efforts.
Økende gjensidig avhengighet innebærer at de store utfordringene vi står overfor i dag, er felles problemer som krever samordnet innsats og større grad av samarbeid.
Nobody today can seriously claim that environmental degradation and climate change can be addressed by national measures alone.
Ingen kan i dag på ramme alvor hevde at ett enkelt land kan bekjempe miljøødeleggelser og klimaendringer på egen hånd.
Nobody can claim that economic development can be achieved in isolation, or that poverty is only the problem of the poor, or of poor countries.
Ingen kan hevde at økonomisk utvikling skjer isolert, eller at fattigdom bare er de fattiges eller de fattige landenes problem.
And nobody should think that just by closing borders or building walls we can protect ourselves against disease.
Og ingen må tro at vi kan beskytte oss mot sykdom ganske enkelt ved å stenge grensene eller bygge en mur.
In the era of globalisation and interdependence, health is one of the major challenges we have to face together.
I en tid preget av globalisering og gjensidig avhengighet er helsespørsmålene blant de store utfordringene som må løses i fellesskap.
It is generally acknowledged that threats to health may compromise a country’s stability and security.
Det er alminnelig anerkjent at et lands stabilitet og sikkerhet kan settes i fare dersom folks helse er truet.
In fact, health is one of the most important, yet still broadly neglected, foreign policy issues of our time.
Helse er i realiteten et av de viktigste utenrikspolitiske spørsmål i vår tid – men et spørsmål det fortsatt i liten grad tas hensyn til.
This is why I am here and this is the reason why I took the initiative last summer, together with my French colleague Philippe Douste-Blazy, to explore and to highlight the relationship between health and foreign policy.
Derfor er jeg her i dag, og det er derfor jeg, sammen med min franske kollega Philippe Douste-Blazy i fjor sommer tok initiativ til å undersøke og sette søkelys på sammenhengen mellom helse og utenrikspolitikk.
We invited our colleagues from Brazil, Indonesia, Senegal, South Africa and Thailand to join us, and together we launched the Global Health and Foreign Policy Initiative in New York in September last year.
Vi inviterte våre kollegaer fra Brasil, Indonesia, Senegal, Sør Afrika og Thailand til å bli med, og sammen lanserte vi initiativet om global helse og utenrikspolitikk (Global Health and Foreign Policy Initiative) i New York i september i fjor.
Our aim was not to conduct an academic study.
Det har ikke vært vår målsetting å gjennomføre en akademisk studie.
But our political goal was indeed an ambitious one: to contribute to a stronger strategic focus on health as part of the international agenda.
Men vårt politiske mål var ambisiøst nok, nemlig å bidra til at det på den internasjonale dagsordenen settes sterkere strategisk fokus på helsespørsmål.
We wanted to build this case in two ways.
Vi ville føre saken på to måter:
A group made up of experts and representatives of the ministers was set to work.
Det ble nedsatt en gruppe bestående av eksperter og ministerrepresentanter.
Two weeks ago the foreign ministers met again in Oslo and adopted a political declaration and an agenda for action.
For to uker siden var utenriksministrene samlet i Oslo og ble da enige om en politisk erklæring og en handlingsplan.
Both documents are available in this room.
Det er lagt ut kopier av begge disse dokumentene i salen.
Meanwhile I would like to highlight a few points.
I mellomtiden vil jeg trekke fram noen få punkter:
In the agenda for action, we have set out ten priority areas that offer new scope for foreign policy – where we believe that a stronger, more direct involvement of foreign policy could make a tangible contribution to protecting and promoting health.
I handlingsplanen har vi fastsatt ti satsingsområder som kan gi utenrikspolitikken nytt innhold – områder der vi mener et sterkere og mer direkte utenrikspolitisk engasjement kan bidra konkret til å trygge og fremme folks helse.
Many of these areas are closely interrelated.
Mange av disse satsingsområdene henger nært sammen.
We have organised them in three main clusters:
Vi har delt dem i tre hovedgrupper:
Firstly, under the heading “Capacity for global health security”, we point to how national preparedness increasingly includes global mechanisms and other measures that enable countries to make a coordinated response.
Under overskriften “Capacity for global health security” viser vi til hvordan den nasjonale beredskap i stadig større grad omfatter globale ordninger og andre tiltak som gir landene mulighet til samordnet innsats.
We highlight the critical importance of having skilled and well-equipped health workers on the ground.
Vi fremhever at det er av avgjørende betydning å ha dyktige og godt utrustede helsearbeidere på bakken.
Then, secondly, in the cluster on “Facing threats to global health security” we highlight the direct and indirect consequences of conflict on health, and the need to strengthen the focus on health in post-conflict reconstruction.
Dernest, når det gjelder satsingsområdene som går under betegnelsen “Facing threats to global health security”, setter vi søkelys på de direkte og indirekte konsekvensene av konflikt på helse, samt på behovet for sterkere satsing på helse under gjenoppbygging etter konflikt.
We point out that health could be a good entry point for cross-border dialogue and resolution of conflict.
Vi påpeker at helsespørsmål kan være et godt utgangspunkt for dialog over landegrensene og for å løse konflikter.
We underline the need for health focus in response to natural disasters.
Vi understreker behovet for å ha fokus på helse når vi utformer tiltak mot naturkatastrofer.
Finally, we have called the last cluster “Making globalisation work for all”.
Den siste gruppen satsingsområder har vi kalt “Making globalisation work for all”.
We recognise the need to deal with the potentially negative consequences of globalisation and to develop the necessary mechanisms to ensure that globalisation is beneficial to all countries.
Vi erkjenner behovet for å gripe fatt i de potensielt negative konsekvensene av globaliseringen og etablere nødvendige ordninger for å sikre at samtlige land får del i globaliseringen.
Those of you who have studied the papers prepared by WHO for this event will recognise a number of the issues I have just presented.
De av dere som er kjent med innholdet i det materialet WHO har utarbeidet til dette møtet, vil kjenne igjen mange av de problemstillingene jeg nettopp har drøftet.
We do not pretend to be original or revolutionary.
Vi gir oss ikke ut for å være originale eller revolusjonære.
And our message is certainly not that anyone else – not even foreign ministers – should take over the responsibilities of WHO.
Og vårt budskap innebærer på ingen måte at WHOs ansvar må overtas av andre, ikke engang av oss utenriksministre!
I believe there is important potential.
Jeg tror det er et betydelig potensial her.
Before I conclude, a few words on the way forward for our initiative.
Avslutningsvis vil jeg si litt om hva som skjer videre med vårt initiativ:
Clearly, seven foreign ministers cannot “change the world” alone.
Syv utenriksministre kan selvsagt ikke “forandre verden” alene.
But a small group like ours – representing different regions but working together across continents, across traditional alliances, bringing different perspectives but sharing the same commitment – a group like this can act as a catalyst.
Men en liten gruppe som oss – som representerer ulike regioner, men som likevel greier å samarbeide på tvers av kontinenter og tradisjonelle allianser, som har ulike syn på ting, men som likevel deler det samme engasjementet – en slik gruppe kan tjene som en katalysator.
That is what we want.
Det er dette vi vil.
We are committed to pursuing these health issues in our respective regional settings and in relevant international bodies.
Vi er fast bestemt på å arbeide videre med disse spørsmålene i våre respektive regionale fora og i relevante internasjonale organer.
And we invite our colleagues from all regions to join us in an open-ended process that we plan to initiate at a meeting in the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
Og vi inviterer kollegaer fra alle deler av verden til å slutte seg til oss i en åpen prosess, en prosess vi håper kan komme i gang på et møte i forbindelse med FNs generalforsamling i New York i september.
Visit in Singapore, 2 April 2007
Innledning til paneldebatt på Verdens helsedag i Singapore, 2. april 2007
Ambitious goals for the High North
- Setter ambisiøse mål for nordområdene
The Government is presenting its white paper on the High North, The High North – visions and strategies, today.
Regjeringen legger i dag fram sin stortingsmelding om nordområdepolitikken Nordområdene – visjoner og virkemidler.
“Our aim is to ensure continued peace and stability in the High North.
- Vi skal sikre fortsatt fred og stabilitet i nordområdene.
We will promote sustainable management of the resources in the region, and strengthen international cooperation and the international legal order, which are so crucial for all activities in the north,” Foreign Minister Støre said.
Vi skal styrke det internasjonale samarbeidet og den internasjonale rettsorden som er avgjørende for all satsing i nord.
Now we are looking to the future and presenting a comprehensive strategy with concrete objectives and specific priorities,” Mr Støre said.
Nå ser vi fremover og legger frem en forpliktende strategi og konkrete tiltak for nye satsinger, sier utenriksminister Støre.
The allocations will be made in the annual national budgets.
Bevilgningene vil komme i de årlige statsbudsjettene.
“Far more has happened in the north than we could have anticipated when the Stoltenberg Government identified the High North as its most important foreign policy priority.
- Det har skjedd mer i nord enn vi kunne forvente da Stoltenberg-regjeringen pekte ut nordområdene som sin viktigste prioritet i utenrikspolitikken.
This has laid the foundation for further developing business activities and enhancing value creation both on shore and off shore,” said Mr Støre.
Dette legger grunnlaget for å videreutvikle næringsvirksomhet og verdiskaping på land og i havet, sier utenriksministeren.
In the white paper, the Government emphasises that Norway’s efforts in the High North are part of a national strategy, involving all ministries and building on broad-based cooperation between the public and private sectors.
I stortingsmeldingen understreker regjeringen at nordområdesatsingen er en nasjonal strategi, som involverer alle departementer og som bygger på et bredt samarbeid mellom offentlig og privat sektor.
Intolerable killing of unarmed protesters
Uakseptabelt med drap på ubevæpnede demonstranter
The killing of unarmed protesters cannot be justified,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Drap på ubevæpnede demonstranter kan ikke forsvares, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Several protesters were killed and wounded, but it is not clear how many.
Flere demonstranter skal ha blitt drept og såret, men det er uklart hvor mange.
“Norway condemns the use of violence and acts that provoke the use of violence.
- Norge fordømmer bruk av vold og handlinger som fremprovoserer voldsbruk.
Syria, too, has a responsibility for preventing unrest in the area.
Syria har også et ansvar for å motvirke uro i området.
Goliat – an important part of the development in the High North
Goliat – en ny byggestein i nord
The development of Goliat will provide revenues to the Norwegian society, result in local spin-off effects, and will directly and indirectly create approximately 500 jobs in the county of Finnmark for a period of fifteen years, says the Minister of Petroleum and Energy Terje Riis-Johansen.
Utbyggingen av Goliat vil gi inntekter til det norske samfunnet, føre til lokale ringvirkninger og vil direkte og indirekte gi om lag 500 arbeidsplasser i Finnmark i en periode på over femten år, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Riis-Johansen.
The operator will adapt the contract strategy for modification and maintenance contracts, so that local suppliers will be more able to compete for these contracts.
Det er sikret at operatøren vil tilpasse sin kontraktstrategi for driftsfasen slik at lokale leverandører blir mer konkurransedyktige.
Sustainable development of the petroleum resources is a key factor in the Government’s strategy for the High North.
Bærekraftig forvaltning av petroleumsressursene er en viktig del av regjeringens nordområdestrategi.
Based on previous experience from petroleum activities, it is estimated that Goliat can provide about 500 jobs in the region during the operating phase.
Basert på erfaring fra andre steder i landet, kan Goliat bidra til om lag 500 arbeidsplasser i regionen i driftsperioden.
Investments related to Goliat are estimated to about NOK 28 billion.
Investeringene knyttet til Goliat er estimert til i overkant av 28 milliarder kroner.
The field holds approximately 174 million barrels of oil in reserves.
Reservene i feltet er på om lag 174 millioner fat olje.
Considering the current oil price-level, this amounts to a commercial value of NOK 60 billion.
Med en oljepris på dagens nivå utgjør salgsverdien av dette over 60 milliarder kroner.
Goliat will fulfill the high environmental requirements established through the Integrated Management Plan for the Barents Sea.
Goliat vil oppfylle de strenge miljøkravene som ble etablert gjennom forvaltningsplanen for Barentshavet.
Arrangements have been made to provide good co-existence with fisheries.
Det er lagt til rette for en god sameksistens med fiskeriene.
Due to the specific challenges in this area, oil-spill preparedness is given high priority.
I lys av særlige utfordringer i nord, skal oljevernberedskap være meget høyt prioritert.
The operator will carry out measures in order to fortify oil-spill preparedness in affected municipalities, such as Måsøy, Hasvik and Nordkapp.
Operatøren skal blant annet gjennomføre tiltak for å styrke oljevernberedskapen i berørte kommuner som Måsøy, Hasvik og Nordkapp.
The Goliat field is also subject to quota obligations for greenhouse gases and CO2-tax.
Feltet er underlagt kvoteplikt for klimagasser og skal betale CO2-avgift.
A vast part of the energy utilization will be provided by the onshore power grid from the start-up.
En stor del av energibruken på feltet vil bli tatt fra kraftnettet på land fra produksjonsstart.
Statnett will submit a license application to NVE regarding a new transmission line between Balsfjord and Hammerfest within May 2009.
Statnett vil oversende NVE konsesjonssøknad for en ny overføringsledning Balsfjord-Hammerfest i løpet av mai 2009.
-Goliat is subjected to high environmental requirements.
-Goliat er underlagt strenge miljøkrav.
It will fulfill the Integrated Management Plan for the Barents Sea requirements, such as zero discharges to sea.
Feltet vil oppfylle kravene som stilles i forvaltningsplanen for Barentshavet, herunder krav om nullutslipp.
It has been important to me that Goliat shall be able to be provided with energy from land.
Det har vært et viktig mål for meg at Goliat skal kunne forsynes med kraft fra land.
