Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Bart Eide commented on the wave of criticism of the Christmas tree given to London. In the British press and social networks, the tree in Trafalgar Square was compared to a “sad cactus” and its appearance was called “like being in a tornado”. transmit “N3 money”.
Eide emphasized that this spruce tree is a “priceless gift” and part of a tradition that has continued since 1947. He reiterated that this spruce tree symbolizes Norway's gratitude for supporting the United Kingdom during World War II, while also representing the partnership between the countries.
The head of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “We are very proud of the Christmas tree and this tradition.
Previously, the Norwegian government imposed sanctions on Russia's two largest fishing companies, Norebo Corporation and Murman Seafood LLC.
Now the ships of these companies will not be able to fish in Norwegian waters (they will not be licensed to fish in the Norwegian economic zone) and enter local ports and territorial waters.
