HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Norway’s Minister of Trade and Industry Trond Giske today attended Norway Day celebrations at the World Expo in Korea. Norway’s participation in the World Expo is a partnership between the Norwegian authorities and four private sponsors – Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Höegh Autoliners, Kongsberg and Wilh. Wilhelmsen.
During Norway Day, emphasis was placed on the extensive collaboration between Korea and Norway in a number of areas, including business and culture. The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO) and its Korean sister organisation (FKI) arranged a business event that was attended by around 150 Korean and Norwegian participants. Norway’s Minister of Trade and Industry Trond Giske was present, together with prominent Korean politicians.
