Today, it is 20 years since diplomatic relations were established between Norway and a number of states that had previously been part of the Soviet Union. 
I dag er det 20 år siden diplomatiske forbindelser ble opprettet mellom Norge og en rekke av statene på territoriet etter den tidligere Sovjetunionen.
In some cases – Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – relations were re-established in 1991. 
Med noen av disse ble diplomatiske forbindelser gjenopprettet i 1991; Russland, Estland, Latvia og Litauen.
In others, diplomatic relations were established for the first time in 1992. 
Med andre ble slike forbindelser etablert for første gang i 1992.
The breadth and depth of our relations varies. 
Bredden og dybden i forbindelsene varierer.
This is natural given the differences in geography, historical ties and membership of international organisations and mechanisms for cooperation. 
Dette er naturlig, gitt forskjeller i geografi, historiske bånd og felles tilhørighet til internasjonale organisasjoner og samarbeidsordninger.
But all are members of the UN and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and most are members of the Council of Europe. 
Men felles for alle er tilhørigheten til FN og til Organisasjonen for sikkerhet og samarbeid i Europa (OSSE).
This provides an important basis for our bilateral relations. 
Dette er et viktig fundament også for våre bilaterale forbindelser.
Given the Soviet past of these countries, it is not surprising that change takes time. 
Med det sovjetiske samfunnet som utgangspunkt er det ikke overraskende at en slik omstilling tar tid.
After 20 years, many have progressed far, while much still remains to be done in others. 
Etter 20 år er mange kommet langt, mens det i andre land er mye som gjenstår.
“The international community also has an important role to play in this context. 
– Her har også det internasjonale samfunn en viktig rolle å spille.
Norway has played a part in promoting these fundamental values. 
Norge har bidratt til å fremme disse grunnleggende verdiene.
We do so in several ways, including through our bilateral ties,” said Mr Støre. 
Det gjør vi på flere måter, også gjennom våre bilaterale forbindelser, sier Støre.
These contacts are a source of enrichment for Norwegian society too. 
Slike kontakter er en berikelse også for det norske samfunn.
At the same time, we should look ahead. 
Samtidig ser vi fremover.
We must continue to develop our wide-ranging cooperation for the common good of our countries and peoples. 
Vi skal fortsette å utvikle et mangfoldig samarbeid til felles beste for våre land og folk.
Our ambition is that our relations will continue develop at least as positively and dynamically over the next 20 years,” said Mr Støre. 
Vår ambisjon må være at forbindelsene skal utvikle seg minst like positivt og minst like dynamisk gjennom de neste 20 årene, sier Støre.

Fransk versjon av pressemeldingen La Norvège exige la libération des deux évêques syriens enlevés
The Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo, Yohanna Ibrahim, and the Greek Orthodox Bishop of Aleppo, Boulos Yazaji, have been kidnapped by an unknown armed group in Syria. 
Den syrisk-ortodokse erkebiskopen av Aleppo, Yohanna Ibrahim, og den gresk-ortodokse biskopen av Aleppo, Boulos Yazaji, er kidnappet av en ukjent væpnet gruppe i Syria.
They were abducted on their way from the Turkish border to the city of Aleppo. 
De ble tatt til fange mens de kjørte fra den tyrkiske grensen til byen Aleppo i Syria.
“The two bishops are key leaders for Christians in Syria. 
- De to er sentrale ledere for de kristne i Syria.
The fact that church leaders are now being kidnapped shows just how relentless the civil war in Syria has become,” said Mr Eide.

“I have personally raised Ms Sotoudeh’s case with the Iranian authorities. 
- Jeg har personlig tatt opp Nasrin Sotoudehs sak med iranske myndigheter.
Courageous activists like Ms Sotoudeh play a crucial role in defending human rights. 
Modige aktivister som Sotoudeh spiller en avgjørende rolle i forsvaret av menneskerettighetene.
It is vital that she is able to resume her legal practice and that the travel ban imposed on her is lifted,” Mr Eide said. 
Det er viktig at hun får gjenoppta sin advokatpraksis og at reiseforbudet mot henne oppheves, sier Eide.

‘Three years after the last famine in Somalia, another hunger crisis is looming. 
- Tre år etter den siste hungersnøden i Somalia truer nok en sultkrise.
According to the UN, one million people are in urgent need of emergency response.

The Norwegian Government is therefore increasing its humanitarian support for Somalia by NOK 35 million,’ said Foreign Minister Børge Brende. 
Regjeringen styrker derfor den humanitære innsatsen i Somalia med 35 millioner kroner, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
On 24 September, Mr Brende attended a high-level meeting on Somalia in New York, which was organised by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. 
Brende deltok i dag på et møte om Somalia i New York, som var organisert av FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon.
According to the UN, the food security situation in Somalia is critical. 
Ifølge FN er matsikkerheten i Somalia betydelig forverret.
So far, the UN’s humanitarian appeal for Somalia has been met with only 34 per cent of the requested USD 933 million.

The conflict in Libya has escalated over the past few days, with large-scale acts of war now taking place. 
Konflikten i Libya har de siste dagene tilspisset seg med krigshandlinger i stor skala.
The fighting is causing great suffering to the civilian population. 
Kampene medfører store lidelser for sivilbefolkningen.
Next week, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights will start investigating the atrocities committed against the civilian population in Libya.

“I am deeply concerned that the Libyan authorities are not giving the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross the access they need to assess the situation in Western Libya and to provide emergency relief. 
- Jeg er dypt bekymret over at libyske myndigheter ikke gir FN og det internasjonale Røde Kors adgang for å vurdere situasjonen i Vest-Libya og gi livreddende nødhjelp.
This is a clear violation of international humanitarian law,” said the Foreign Minister. 
Dette er et klart brudd på internasjonal humanitær rett, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The parties to the conflict have an obligation to respect international humanitarian law. 
Partene i konflikten har plikt til å respektere internasjonal humanitær rett.
This means that they must distinguish between military targets and civilians, and effectively protect the civilian population. 
Dette betyr blant annet at de må skille mellom militære mål og sivile og effektivt beskytte sivilbefolkningen.
The humanitarian situation in Libya’s neighbouring countries is still critical as a result of the conflict. 
Den humanitære situasjonen i Libyas naboland som følge av konflikten er også fortsatt kritisk.
