Holmås undertegnet en intensjonsavtale med myndighetene på Seychellene da han besøkte øystaten i Det indiske hav fredag 28. juni.
Under the MoU, pirates who are arrested by the Norwegian frigate KNM Fridtjof Nansen may be transferred to Seychelles for criminal prosecution. 
Avtalen går ut på at pirater som pågripes av den norske fregatten «KNM Fridtjof Nansen» kan overføres til Seychellene for straffeforfølgning.
Some 20.000 vessels, including 1000 Norwegian owned vessels, pass through these waters every year.

Norway is heavily engaged to fight piracy outside Africa's Horn. 
Norge yter en bred innsats for å bekjempe piratvirksomhet utenfor Afrikas Horn.
“The crime of piracy, which is carried out by poor young men from Somalia, is a major obstacle for the country’s development. 
- Piratkriminalitet, som begås av unge, fattige gutter og menn fra Somalia, er et stort problem for landets videre utvikling.
It has had a severe effect on the tourist and fishing industries in the region as well as on global shipping. 
Det har også rammet turisme og fiskerinæring i regionen hardt, så vel som global skipsfart.
This type of organised crime is not just a regional but also a global problem, and it is important that Norway and the international community continue to cooperate in solving it,” said Mr Holmås. 
Slik organisert kriminalitet er et internasjonalt problem, som det er viktig at Norge og det internasjonale samfunnet fortsetter å samarbeide om å løse, sier Holmås.
“Norway has for some time now been engaged in a broad effort – on land, at sea and in the air – to fight piracy. 
- Norge har lenge hatt en bred innsats mot piratkriminalitet, både til sjøs og i luften.
I am impressed by the way Seychelles has taken responsibility for fighting piracy. 
Jeg er imponert over måten Seychellene har tatt ansvar på for å bekjempe piratvirksomhet.
This MoU will enable us to enhance our cooperation further,” he added. 
Med denne avtalen kan vi jobbe enda bedre sammen, legger han til.
The MoU sets out clearly that arrested pirates must be treated in accordance with fundamental human rights. 
Intensjonsavtalen gir klare retningslinjer for at pågrepne pirater skal behandles i tråd med grunnleggende menneskerettigheter.
Norway is one of the largest donors to the UN’s programmes of prison construction and modernisation in Puntland and Somaliland.

Holmås besøkte også Høyesterett og det regionale etterforsknings- og koordineringssenteret for piratkriminalitet (Rappicc), der Norge bidrar med en etterforsker gjennom Interpol.

I møter med innenriksminister Joël Morgan og utenriksminister Jean-Paul Adam diskuterte Holmås risikoen for at piratvirksomheten vil blomstre opp igjen, dersom det internasjonale samfunnet trapper ned innsatsen til sjøs.

Norway and Afghanistan sign Agreement on Strategic Partnership 
Norge og Afghanistan inngår samarbeidsavtale
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Afghan President Hamid Karzai today signed an agreement on strategic partnership between Norway and Afghanistan. 
Statsminister Jens Stoltenberg og Afghanistans president Hamid Karzai undertegnet i dag en samarbeidsavtale mellom Norge og Afghanistan.
“In my talks with President Karzai today, I stressed that Norway intends to provide long-term support for Afghanistan. 
- I min samtale med president Karzai i dag, understreket jeg at Norge vil være en langsiktig støttespiller for Afghanistan.
We will therefore continue our civilian assistance to the country, even after the period leading up to 2014 when we will be winding down our military contribution,” Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide commented. 
Derfor opprettholder vi den sivile bistanden, også etter at det militære bidraget trappes ned frem mot 2014, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
The agreement between Norway and Afghanistan is based on mutual commitments. 
Avtalen er basert på gjensidige forpliktelser.
The agreement reaffirms the framework agreed on by the international community and Afghanistan at the Bonn and Tokyo conferences. 
Avtalen bekrefter rammene det internasjonale samfunn og Afghanistan ble enige om på konferansene i Bonn og Tokyo.
Good governance and efforts to combat corruption are therefore an important part of the agreement,” Mr Eide said. 
Godt styresett og korrupsjonsbekjempelse utgjør derfor en viktig del av avtalen, sier Eide.
Afghanistan has long been high on Norway’s agenda, in both military and civilian terms. 
Afghanistan har lenge vært et av Norges viktigste innsatsområder både militært og sivilt.
Norway will continue to provide an annual allocation of NOK 750 million to the country until 2017.

Dette er først og fremst afghanske myndigheters ansvar, men de vil fortsatt trenge internasjonal hjelp og bistand, også fra Norge, sier utenriksministeren.
President Karzai and Foreign Minister Eide also discussed developments in the political reconciliation process in Afghanistan, as well as developments in the regional dialogue, including between Afghanistan and Pakistan. 
Presidenten og utenriksministeren diskuterte også utviklingen langs det politiske forsoningssporet i Afghanistan, samt utviklingen i den regionale dialogen, blant annet med Pakistan.

"We share a common responsibility to promote the realisation of a two-state solution. 
– Vi har et felles ansvar for å bidra til at tostatsløsningen blir en realitet.
After three years spent strengthening Palestinian institutions and with strong economic growth, the Palestinians are now facing a severe economic crisis. 
Etter tre år med styrking av palestinske institusjoner og sterk økonomisk vekst, står palestinerne nå overfor en akutt økonomisk krise.
This is largely due to a combination of the effects of the occupation, a reduction in donor contributions and the fact that Palestinian revenues have been lower than anticipated. 
Dette skyldes i hovedsak en kombinasjon av okkupasjonens virkninger, lavere giverbidrag og lavere palestinske inntekter enn forventet.
"At the meeting the donors confirmed that they would continue to promote financial stability during this difficult period. 
– Giverne har i møtet bekreftet at de vil fortsette å bidra til finansiell stabilitet i en vanskelig situasjon.
At the same time there was agreement that sustainable development can only be achieved if Israel eases restrictions on access to land. 
Samtidig er det enighet om at kun lettelser i okkupasjonens stengningsregime kan skape bærekraftig utvikling.
It is crucial to ensure access to land, water and other resources in Israeli controlled areas of the West Bank," said Mr Eide. 
Tilgang til land, vann og andre ressurser i israelskkontrollerte områder på Vestbredden er avgjørende, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
In the reports from the IMF, the World Bank and the UN that were presented at the meeting, it was emphasised that the Israeli authorities must improve the overall framework for Palestinian business activities on the West Bank, including in East Jerusalem, and in Gaza. 
I rapportene fra IMF, Verdensbanken og FN som ble presentert under møtet, ble det understreket at israelske myndigheter må legge bedre til rette for palestinsk næringsvirksomhet på Vestbredden inkludert Øst-Jerusalem og i Gaza.
"The Palestinians must continue their economic reforms, but these reforms alone cannot be expected to improve the economic situation," said Mr Eide. 
– Palestinerne må fortsette sine økonomiske reformer, men det kan ikke forventes at resultatene fra reformarbeidet vil kunne bedre den økonomiske situasjonen alene, sier Eide.
The AHLC reaffirmed its conclusion that the Palestinian Authority has the necessary institutions in place to form a Palestinian state. 
Giverlandsgruppen opprettholdt konklusjonen om at palestinske myndigheter er institusjonelt rede til å danne en palestinsk stat.
The UN, represented by Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman, hosted the AHLC meeting, which was attended by Palestinian Finance Minister Nabil Kassis, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, Quartet Representative Tony Blair, and representatives of key donor countries. 
FN, ved visegeneralsekretær Jeff Feltman var vertskap for AHLC-møtet, som samlet palestinernes finansminister Nabil Kassis, og Israels viseutenriksminister Danny Ayalon, sammen med EUs høyrepresentant for utenrikssaker Catherine Ashton, Kvartettens utsending Tony Blair og representanter fra sentrale giverland.
