Norway's foreign policy 
Regjeringens utenrikspolitikk
The overarching goal of Norwegian foreign policy is to safeguard and promote Norway's interests – our values, our security and our welfare. 
Utenrikspolitikkens fremste mål er å sikre og fremme norske interesser – våre verdier, vår sikkerhet og vår velferd.
The Government is committed to doing all it can to ensure that decades of progress in the areas of democracy, human rights, free trade and international cooperation are not reversed. 
Regjeringen mobiliserer for å unngå at tiår med fremgang for demokrati, menneskerettigheter, frihandel og internasjonalt samarbeid drives tilbake.
Considerable progress has been made in the world in the past few decades. 
Verden har opplevd store fremskritt de siste tiårene.
At the same time, the past few years have taught us that we cannot simply assume that progress will continue, which only serves to underline the need for a well-functioning UN. 
Samtidig har de siste årene lært oss at fortsatt fremgang ikke kan tas for gitt, noe som understreker behovet for et velfungerende FN.
After several decades of positive progress, the number of people killed in wars and conflict is now rising. 
Etter at utviklingstrekkene har vært positive i flere tiår, stiger nå tallene på drepte i krig og konflikt.
Never before have so many people been forced to flee from their countries and homes. 
Aldri før har flere vært på flukt fra sine hjem og land.
There are strong indications that these negative changes will be lasting. 
Mye tyder på at det dreier seg om varige endringer i negativ retning.
Norwegian foreign policy today has to respond to a highly complex and challenging threat landscape. 
Norsk utenrikspolitikk må i dag forholde seg til et svært sammensatt og krevende trusselbilde.
Russia's violations of international law and destabilisation of Ukraine are spreading uncertainty throughout Europe. 
Russlands brudd på folkeretten og de stabilisering av Ukraina sprer usikkerhet gjennom Europa.

Migration flows and human trafficking across the Mediterranean to Europe are putting pressure on the external border of the EU, which is also our external border. 
Migrasjon og menneskesmugling over Middelhavet til Europa utfordrer EUs og vår felles yttergrense.
The dividing line between foreign policy and domestic policy is becoming increasingly blurred. 
Utenrikspolitikk blir innenrikspolitikk.
This makes a united and effective response essential. 
Det fordrer en samlet og effektiv respons.
In our efforts to navigate today's complex international environment, we will continue to cultivate political friendships with our trading partners in the EU and our close allies in the US and the rest of NATO. 
I møte med dagens krevende utenrikspolitiske virkelighet skal vi fortsette å pleie politisk vennskap med våre handelspartnere i EU og nære allierte i USA og resten av Nato.
We will also continue to provide substantial support to multilateral institutions such as the UN. 
Vi skal også fortsette å investere tungt i multilaterale institusjoner som FN.
Participation in the UN is a cornerstone of Norwegian foreign policy. 
FN er en hjørnestein i norsk utenrikspolitikk.
Promoting international cooperation and compliance with international law is the best way of achieving concrete results and safeguarding countries' common interests. 
Samarbeid mellom land og overholdelse av folkeretten skaper resultater og sikrer landenes felles interesser.
Together with increased trade and democratisation, the expanding scope of international law – to encompass everything from peaceful conflict resolution to air transport, working conditions, human rights, the use of marine resources, environmental protection and complex financial and investment operations – has created the world order we benefit from today. 
Den stadige utvidelsen av folkerettens virkefelt – til å gjelde alt fra fredelig konfliktløsning til luftfart, arbeidsforhold, menneskerettigheter, utnyttelse av ressurser til havs, beskyttelse av naturmiljøet samt komplekse finans- og investeringsoperasjoner – har sammen med økende handel og demokratisering skapt den verdensorden vi i dag nyter godt av.
The UN's mandate and unique position in the world mean that it has a special responsibility to work to ensure that decades of progress in the areas of democracy, human rights, development and international cooperation are not reversed. 
FNs mandat og unike posisjon gir verdensorganisasjonen et særlig ansvar for å bidra til å sikre at tiår med fremgang for demokrati, menneskerettigheter, utvikling og internasjonalt samarbeid ikke drives tilbake.
But the UN needs to adapt, both as an intergovernmental arena and as an actor on the world stage, to a world that is facing new challenges and new geopolitical power constellations. 
Men FN, både som mellomstatlig arena og som aktør, må tilpasse seg en verden med nye globale utfordringer og nye geopolitiske maktkonstellasjoner.
The UN has to undergo a continual process of reform if it is to retain its relevance in a rapidly changing world. 
FN må stadig reformeres for å være relevant i en verden i rivende utvikling.
We need to safeguard the current international legal and security policy architecture, and improve its ability to deal with the challenges of the 21st century. 
Vi må ta vare på den sikkerhetspolitiske og folkerettslige arkitekturen som foreligger – og oppdatere dens evne til å håndtere det 21. århundrets utfordringer.
The further development and reform of the UN is primarily the responsibility of UN member states. 
Det er først og fremst FNs medlemsland som må ta ansvar for å videreutvikle og reformere FN.
Norway will maintain a strong focus on promoting reform of the UN with a view to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the organisation. 
Fra norsk side fortsetter arbeidet med reform og effektivisering av FN med uforminsket styrke.
The Ministry's UN70: A new agenda project is one of several tools that will be used in this work. 
Prosjektet «FN70: En ny dagsorden» vil være ett av flere instrumenter i dette arbeidet.
This year's UN General Assembly – key Norwegian positions and interests 
Årets generalforsamling i FN – sentrale norske interesser og posisjoner
The UN General Assembly is the world's largest international meeting place, and a unique arena for promoting Norwegian interests, international cooperation and Norwegian positions on issues of key importance to Norway. 
FNs generalforsamling er verdens største internasjonale møteplass og en unik arena for å fremme norske interesser, internasjonalt samarbeid og posisjoner på spørsmål av sentral betydning for Norge.
The high-level week of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly will begin with a summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda, the Sustainable Development Summit, on 25–27 September. 
Høynivåuken under FNs 70. generalforsamling innledes med toppmøtet om bærekraftig utvikling fra 25. til 27. september.
The general debate will begin on 28 September and will last until 6 October. 
Generaldebatten starter 28. september og varer fram til 6. oktober.
During this year's session of the General Assembly, the Government will give priority to the following topics, both at the formal meetings and at side events: 
Regjeringen vil prioritere følgende temaer i og rundt de formelle møtene under årets generalforsamling:
The fact that world leaders have now reached agreement on the 2030 sustainable development agenda and the new Sustainable Development Goals is a major step forward. 
Det er viktig at verden har kommet til enighet om en ny utviklingsagenda med nye bærekraftsmål.
The Prime Minister will attend the Sustainable Development Summit, where the new goals will be adopted. 
Statsministeren vil delta på toppmøtet der disse målene blir vedtatt.
Norway considers it important to mark the fact that the international community has made a clear commitment to renew its combined efforts to eradicate poverty through sustainable development by 2030. 
Norge legger vekt på å markere at verdens land forplikter seg til ny innsats for å utrydde fattigdom gjennom bærekraftig utvikling innen 2030.
The events of the past few years have reminded us how crucial it is to uphold international law and a world order in which right triumphs over might. 
De siste årenes begivenheter har vist oss hvor viktig det er å hegne om folkeretten og en verdensorden der rett går foran makt.
An agreed set of international rules is essential if we are to be able to deal successfully with issues relating to environmental protection, the use of marine resources, air transport, trade, digital commerce, and complex financial and investment operations, as well as transnational law enforcement in the face of international terrorist threats. 
Aksepterte spilleregler er avgjørende for å kunne håndtere ressursutnyttelse til havs, beskyttelse av naturmiljøet, luftfart, en omfattende varehandel og digital samhandel, komplekse finans- og investeringsoperasjoner og grenseoverskridende rettshåndhevelse i møte med internasjonale terrortrusler.
Globalisation and the shift in global power make it all the more important to strike a balance between ensuring effective governance at the global level and addressing the legitimate ambitions of emerging states and regions. 
Globalisering og maktforskyvning understreker betydningen av å finne en balanse mellom effektiv global styring og institusjoner som inkluderer fremvoksende stater og regioners legitime ambisjoner.
This is crucial for securing continued and stronger adherence to the common rules that are developed in the UN and other multilateral organisations. 
Dette er avgjørende for å sikre en fortsatt og styrket global oppslutning om de felles spillereglene som utvikles i FN og andre multilaterale organisasjoner.
It will not be possible to overcome ISIL and other violent extremist groups unless we make use of a broad range of political, military, ideological and economic tools. 
Isil og tilsvarende grupperinger kan bare bekjempes med et bredt spekter av politiske, militære, ideologiske og økonomiske virkemidler.
Norway is helping to develop effective tools in all these areas. 
Norge bidrar innenfor alle disse områdene.
The fight against ISIL, extremism and foreign terrorist fighters will be a key topic during the high-level week, and Norway will be giving high priority to this issue. 
Kampen mot Isil, ekstremisme og fremmedkrigere er et sentralt tema under høynivåuken og har høy prioritet fra norsk side.
Efforts to promote peace, stability and development in fragile states is one of the areas in which the UN has a comparative advantage. 
Arbeid for fred, stabilitet og utvikling i sårbare stater utgjør et av FNs komparative fortrinn.
The Government therefore considers it particularly important that the UN is able to play as effective a role as possible in fragile states, in terms of carrying out both peace operations and development work. 
Regjeringen legger derfor særlig vekt på at FN settes i stand til å spille en mest mulig effektiv rolle i sårbare stater, både i fredsoperasjoner og utviklingsarbeid.
Close cooperation between the various UN agencies is vital to maximise synergies and results on the ground in these countries. 
Det er viktig at ulike FN-aktører samarbeider nært for å maksimere synergier og resultater på bakken i disse landene.
Norway also attaches importance to the efforts to improve the Security Council's working methods. 
Norge legger også vekt på arbeidet med å forbedre FNs sikkerhetsråds arbeidsmetoder.
