Intern with a view 🏛️🤓
Norwegian students: don't miss your chance to join us as a fall 2026 intern!
We’re looking for independent, collaborative self-starters with a keen interest in U.S. politics and stellar social media skills.
🗓️ Deadline to apply is March 11.
Ambassador Anniken Huitfeldt and colleagues from the Norwegian Mission in the US joined the Embassy of Ukraine in the USA, the Embassy of Iceland Washington DC, and the European Union in the United States to demonstrate Norway`s unwavering support for Ukraine in a rally in D.C last weekend. 💛💙
A just and lasting peace can only be achieved on Ukraine’s terms. Any solution must guarantee Ukraine’s full independence, sovereignty, and freedom to choose its own path–including its alliances–both now and in the future.
Norwegian support to Ukraine is steadfast and long-term. We have provided almost $23 billion USD in military, civilian, and humanitarian assistance from 2022-2026 – demonstrating unified support from all political parties represented in the Norwegian Parliament.
The courage of the Ukrainian people over these four devastating years is deeply inspiring. Homes have been destroyed and lives lost, yet Ukraine`s fight for freedom continues.
European security depends on Ukraine’s victory. Ukraine is fighting not only for its own survival, but for the principles that underpin the UN Charter and international law: sovereignty, freedom, and the rule of law. We cannot allow borders in Europe to be redrawn by force.
Norway stands firmly with Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇳🇴
Four years have passed since Russia launched its illegal and brutal full‑scale invasion on 24 February 2022 – a war that began with the invasion of Crimea in 2014.

Dr. Ero highlighted how the landscape is becoming more complex, requiring broader engagement and adaptable approaches to sustain peace efforts.
Dr. Comfort Ero, President and CEO of the International Crisis Group, detailed how global conflict dynamics are shaped by diverse underlying causes, shifting international priorities, and changing roles among both established and emerging actors.
Ambassador Huitfeldt underscored that, in this conflict, Russia is the clear aggressor while Ukraine is the victim. Norway stands firm with Ukraine in achieving peace on its own terms.
She emphasized Norway’s almost $24 billion in military and humanitarian support to Ukraine. She reminded the audience that Russia must be held accountable based on respect for territorial integrity, not on the idea that large nations may dictate the destiny of smaller neighbors.
Ambassador Huitfeldt spoke about Norway’s role as a facilitator in international peace processes. Diplomacy remains an important tool when global institutions and international law are under increasing pressure.
Peace ≠ Appeasement.

Norway will align itself with the sanctions adopted by the EU against specific individuals and entities. In just the past few weeks, the Iranian regime has killed several thousand civilians who have been demonstrating for their freedom and their right to express themselves.

Norway supports UNFPA and a wide range of civil society partners to ensure SRHR services reach the most vulnerable. Support to SRHR will remain an important and integrated part of Norway’s health and human rights assistance.
Support has been channeled through the UN system, the Red Cross Movement, and key Norwegian strategic partners. Access to sexual and reproductive health services has been central.
Efforts to combat sexual and gender-based violence and to support survivors are highly prioritised by Norway. Since 2020, Norway has provided more than NOK 2 billion in humanitarian assistance for this work.
