Discussing a trade agreement with Hong Kong 
Handelsavtale på dagsordenen i Hong Kong
The ongoing negotiations on a trade agreement was the main topic when Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr. Trond Giske, had political conversations in Hong Kong this morning. 
De pågående forhandlingene om en handelsavtale var hovedtema da nærings- og handelsminister Trond Giske hadde politiske samtaler i Hong Kong i formiddag.
Negotiations between EFTA and Hong Kong started in January 2010 and are well under way. 
Forhandlingene mellom EFTA og Hong Kong startet i januar 2010, og er kommet godt i gang.
These negotiations take place independently of the free trade agreement negotiations between Norway and China. 
Disse forhandlingene pågår uavhengig av frihandelsavtaleforhandlingene mellom Norge og Kina.
Hong Kong is Asia's main financial center and port city and an important gateway to China. 
– Hong Kong er Asias viktigste finanssenter og havneby, og en viktig innfallsport til Kina.
- A trade agreement will ensure that Norwegian industry continues to have good commercial possibilities, Giske said. 
En handelsavtale vil sikre norsk næringsliv fortsatt åpne og gode rammebetingelser, sier Giske.
The Norwegian Government Pension Fund is a major investor in Hong Kong with some 16.5 billion kroner invested. 
Pensjonsfondet er en betydelig investor i Hong Kong med om lag 16,5 milliarder kroner investert.
The Norwegian business sector is also broadly represented by more than 20 Norwegian companies. 
Norsk næringsliv er også bredt representert med over 20 norske bedrifter.
Representatives from some of these companies have been invited to take part in the talks with the authorities in Hong Kong. 
Noen av bedriftene og representanter fra det norske handelskammeret har Giske invitert med inn i samtalene med myndighetene i Hong Kong.
- Hong Kong's importance is rising. 
– Hong Kongs betydning tiltar i takt med at Kina blir viktigere.
It is therefore a priority for me to visit Hong Kong. 
Derfor prioriterer jeg å besøke Hong Kong.
- Increased internationalization of the business sector is a priority for the Norwegian government. 
– Økt internasjonalisering av næringslivet er en prioritert oppgave for regjeringen.
The Minister of Trade and Industry started his official visit to China in Beijing on Friday. 
Nærings- og handelsministeren startet sitt offisielle besøk til Kina i Beijing på fredag.

The visit ends in Chongqing.

'The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called in the Russian Ambassador today to reiterate our protest. 
- Utenriksdepartementet har i dag innkalt den russiske ambassadøren for å gjenta protesten.
Meetings between parliamentarians form an important part of our political dialogue. 
Møter mellom parlamentarikere er et viktig element i den politiske kontakten.
The planned visit from the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence would have brought this dialogue forward,' said Mr Brende. 
Det planlagte besøket fra utenriks- og forsvarskomiteen ville ha bragt denne dialogen videre, sier utenriksministeren.
The reason given by the Russian authorities for their decision is that Norway has implemented the EU's restrictive measures against Russia and has made these measures applicable to Svalbard as well. 
Begrunnelsen fra russiske myndigheter er at Norge har gjennomført EUs restriktive tiltak mot Russland og gjort tiltakene gyldige også for Svalbard.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs assists members of the Storting with visa applications in connection with official delegations, as a matter of routine. 
Utenriksdepartementet bistår rutinemessig stortingsrepresentanter med å søke visum i forbindelse med offisielle delegasjonsbesøk.
The press release in Russian - (Запрет на въезд в Российскую Федерацию вызывает глубокое сожаление ) 
Pressemeldingen på russisk - (Запрет на въезд в Российскую Федерацию вызывает глубокое сожаление )
'Denial of entry to Russia is deeply regrettable' 
- Innreisenekt til Russland sterkt beklagelig
- This is a milestone in the government's efforts to promote an international trade regime that puts great emphasis on environment, says Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim. 
– Dette er en merkedag i regjeringens arbeid for å fremme et internasjonalt handelsregime som legger stor vekt på miljø, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
- The chapter on trade and environment enhances and strengthens the environmental concerns in the agreement and is therefore an important contribution to ensuring that our trade with Hong Kong is contributing to sustainable development, says Solheim. 
– Kapittelet i handelsavtalen med Hong Kong fremhever og styrker miljøhensyn i avtalen og er derfor et viktig bidrag for å sikre at vår samhandel med Hong Kong bidrar til bærekraftig utvikling, sier Solheim.
The agreement with Hong Kong is the first that is negotiated after this decision. 
Avtalen med Hong Kong er den første som er forhandlet ferdig etter dette.

- The war on terror has further challenged the appropriateness of dialogue. 
Krigen mot terror har skapt ytterligere tvil om hvorvidt dialog er veien å gå.
Some governments argue that pariah groups and regimes should be isolated, not engaged. 
Noen land mener at man ikke skal diskutere med pariagrupper og -regimer, men isolere dem.
Indeed, the idea of negotiating with Al Qaeda appears ludicrous – what could possibly be agreed? 
Bare tanken på å skulle forhandle med Al Qaida synes latterlig – hva skulle man eventuelt bli enige om?
- Minister of Foreign Affairs writes in an article on 28.06.2007. 
- skriver utenriksministeren i en kronikk 28.06.2007.

Nå er det motsatte tilfelle.
To talk or not to talk, that is the question. 
Å samtale eller ikke samtale, det er spørsmålet.
From Sri Lanka to Somalia to Spain, from Iran to Iraq, from the Philippines to the Palestinian Territory, and from Lebanon to Liberia, wherever there is actual or imminent armed conflict, governments and diplomats confront the dilemmas of dialogue. 
Fra Sri Lanka til Somalia til Spania, fra Iran til Irak, fra Filippinene til Palestina, fra Libanon til Liberia – overalt hvor væpnet konflikt pågår eller truer med å bryte ut, er dialog et problematisk tema for regjeringer og diplomater.
Can war be avoided through negotiation? 
Kan krig hindres gjennom forhandlinger?
Why reward armed insurgencies by offering talks? 
Hvorfor belønne væpnede opprørere med tilbud om samtaler?
Won’t ceasefires and endless diplomacy just buy time for armed rebels and rogue regimes? 
Tjener ikke våpenhviler og endeløst diplomati bare til at opprørere og udemokratiske regimer vinner tid?
In civil wars, there is the fear that dialogue with rebel groups will only encourage other, marginal political factions to take up arms. 
Der det er borgerkrig, kan det være fare for at dialog med opprørsgrupper bare vil oppmuntre andre, marginale politiske grupperinger til å gripe til våpen.
Where there is escalating tension between states, neither side wants to appear weak by offering to negotiate. 
Når spenningen mellom to stater øker, ønsker ingen av dem å fremstå som svak ved å tilby forhandlinger.
More often today, official actors – both individual states and the UN – are wary of the risks of legitimising terrorist groups through engagement and negotiation. 
Offisielle aktører, både stater og FN, blir stadig mer på vakt mot å legitimere terroristgrupper gjennom kontakt og forhandlinger.
And not all these worries are unfounded. 
Slike bekymringer er ikke alltid grunnløse.
