Etiopias statsminister Meles Zenawi er død
Meles Zenawi has played a key role in the international cooperation on climate change, including a close collaboration with Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. 
Meles Zenawi har spilt en sentral rolle i det internasjonale klimasamarbeidet, blant annet i nært samarbeid med statsminister Stoltenberg.
He has also been an important driving force for development in Ethiopia in recent years.

På Afrikas horn har Meles Zenawi personlig vært sentral for å drive frem fredsforhandlingene mellom Sudan og Sør- Sudan.
Norwegian Minister of International Development Heikki Holmås commented, “Ethiopia is among the countries that are on track to meet the goal of halving poverty.

“We will never forget the attacks on the government building complex and at Utøya on 22 July 2011. 
- Vi skal aldri glemme angrepene på regjeringskvartalet og Utøya 22. juli 2011.
The attacks were a tragedy for everybody who was affected, and touched us as a community and nation. 
Angrepene var en tragedie for alle berørte og rammet oss som samfunn og nasjon.
National memorial sites are important places where we as a nation can grieve, mourn those we lost, and unite in support of the values that came under attack and were put to the test on that day,” says Minister of Local Government and Modernisation Jan Tore Sanner. 
Nasjonale minnesteder er viktig for at vi som nasjon skal ha et sted å sørge, savne de som gikk bort og samles om de verdiene som ble angrepet og satt på prøve den dagen, sier kommunal- og moderniseringsminister Jan Tore Sanner.
In June 2012, the Stoltenberg Government decided to create two permanent national memorial sites, one at the government building complex in Oslo and a second in the municipality of Hole. 
Det var regjeringen Stoltenberg som i juni 2012 besluttet at det skulle etableres to permanente nasjonale minnesteder, ett i regjeringskvartalet i Oslo og ett i Hole kommune .
In March 2013, the Stoltenberg Government specified that the national memorial in Hole would be located at Sørbråten. 
I mars 2013 besluttet regjeringen Stoltenberg at det nasjonale minnestedet i Hole skulle ligge på Sørbråten.
The Storting approved costs for building a national memorial at Sørbråten in December 2013, and in February 2014 Jonas Dahlberg, from Sweden, won an international competition for the design of the memorial sites. 
I desember 2013 godkjente Stortinget kostnadsrammen for etablering av nasjonalt minnested på Sørbråten, og i februar 2014 vant svenske Jonas Dahlberg en internasjonal konkurranse om utforming av minnestedene.
Initially, completion of the Hole memorial was scheduled for 22 July 2015. 
Den opprinnelige planen var at minnestedet i Hole skulle ferdigstilles innen 22. juli 2015.
In response to the strong and divergent views expressed by those affected by the terrorist acts, the Government decided to delay creation of the memorial site. 
Regjeringen valgte å utsette etableringen av minnestedet på grunn av sterke og ulike syn blant berørte.
The National Support Group for Victims of the 22 July Attacks favours construction of the memorial site as planned; the neighbours at Sørbråten, however, do not want the memorial in their local environment. 
Naboer på Sørbråten ønsker ikke minnestedet i sitt nærmiljø.
“The local residents should have been involved more actively from the start. 
- Naboene burde vært sterkere involvert fra starten.
That is why we have met many times with the groups involved, both together and separately, as well as with the municipality of Hole and with individuals. 
Vi har derfor hatt mange møter med berørte grupper, både sammen og hver for seg, med Hole kommune og med enkeltpersoner.
Throughout, our overriding objective has been to find a solution that everybody is willing to support,” Sanner says. 
Vi har hele tiden vært opptatt av å finne en løsning som alle kan samles om, sier Sanner.
Meetings have been held with the various parties, both separately and together. 
Det har vært møter med partene både hver for seg og sammen.
In addition, alternative locations for the monument have been considered at the request of local residents and their association. 
Det har i tillegg vært vurdert en alternativ plassering av minnestedet etter naboenes/velforeningens ønske.
“The uncertainty surrounding the creation of the memorial site is an extra weight for everyone involved. 
- Usikkerheten rundt etableringen av et minnested er en ekstra belastning for alle involverte.
At the same time, everyone wants a decision to be made now,” Sanner says. 
Samtidig ønsker alle involverte at det nå tas en beslutning, sier Sanner.
“We will therefore adopt the central governmental zoning plan for the area and plan for an opening of the memorial site in the summer of 2017.” 
Derfor vil vi vedta den statlige reguleringsplanen for området og ta sikte på at minnestedet skal kunne åpnes sommeren 2017.
For road safety purposes the central government will fund street lighting along the county road that runs past Sørbråten. 
Av hensyn til trafikksikkerhet vil staten finansiere belysning langs fylkesveien som går forbi Sørbråten.
We will also discuss other road safety measures with the municipality and the county,” Sanner adds. 
Vi vil dessuten gå i dialog med kommunen og fylkeskommunen om andre trafikksikkerhetstiltak, sier Sanner.
The Ministry of Culture is in dialogue with the artist to consider minor adjustments in the design of the artwork. 
Kulturdepartementet har dialog med kunstneren for å vurdere mindre justeringer i utformingen av kunstverket.
“The artist fully understands that there may be a need to adjust the design of the memorial site, and we are in touch with him via KORO (Public Art Norway). 
Vi er i kontakt med kunstneren via KORO.
Together with KORO we will also look into the possibility of designing an expression of gratitude and recognition to the local community in connection with the national memorial site,” says Minister of Culture Linda Hofstad Helleland. 
Sammen med KORO skal vi også se på muligheten for å utforme en takk og en anerkjennelse til lokalsamfunnet i forbindelse med det nasjonale minnestedet, sier kulturminister Linda Hofstad Helleland.
A memorial site will also be created at the government building complex in Oslo. 
Det skal også etableres minnested i regjeringskvartalet i Oslo.

Memorial at Sørbråten to be completed in 2017 
Minnested på Sørbråten i 2017
The Government has decided that the national memorial site to commemorate the victims of the terrorist acts of 22 July 2011 will be completed at Sørbråten in the municipality of Hole in 2017. 
Regjeringen har nå besluttet at det nasjonale minnestedet etter terroren 22. juli 2011 skal stå klart på Sørbråten i Hole kommune i 2017.
Today’s decision formalises the Government’s decision of Tuesday 18 March under which Norway aligned itself with the restrictive measures adopted by the EU on 17 March. 
Vedtaket er en formalisering av beslutningen regjeringen kunngjorde tirsdag 18. mars om å slutte opp om de restriktive tiltakene EU vedtok mandag 17. mars.
The measures form part of a unified international response to Russia’s illegal actions in Ukraine. 
Tiltakene er en del av en samlet internasjonal reaksjon på Russlands folkerettsstridige handlinger.
