‘It is with great sorrow that I received the news that His Majesty King Harald V has died.

A whole nation is in mourning and the people of Norway are left with a deep sense of gratitude for a long life in the service of Norway.

For more than three decades as monarch, Harald V demonstrated an unwavering faith in the Norwegian people. He helped us to see the best in ourselves – and in one another.

King Harald found the words to bind us together when we needed them the most. He grieved with us after the attacks 22 July 2011. He cheered with us when Norwegian athletes excelled. And he guided us, with warmth, wisdom and openness, towards a society with a place for everyone. King Harald had a profound love for Norway. And Norway had a profound love for King Harald.

My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the Queen and the entire Royal Family at this difficult time,’ said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre on learning of the death of King Harald V.

King Harald V was born on 21 February 1937. He died at the age of 89.

The Government will be convening soon for a government conference at the Office of the Prime Minister, and after that an extraordinary meeting of the Council of State will be held at the Royal Palace with the new King.

Today, 24 August 2026, marks the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence Day🇺🇦.

This day is a reminder of Ukraine’s enduring struggle for freedom, peace and the future of Europe. It is also an occasion to honour Ukraine’s history, culture and identity, and the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people.

Yesterday, staff from the Norwegian Embassy in The Hague marked the occasion by taking part in the annual Run for Ukraine. The run commemorates those who lost their lives in the struggle for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Norway will continue to stand with Ukraine and support efforts to protect civilians, help children and families affected by the war, and ensure that future generations can grow up in freedom, dignity and peace🇳🇴🤝🇺🇦.

We are delighted to welcome our new interns, Charlotte Velterop and Anne Harris-Christensen, who joined the Embassy this week and will spend the next six months working with us.

Anne Harris-Christensen (26) is our new Multilateral Affairs Intern. She holds a master’s degree in law from the University of Oslo. Previously, Anne has worked as a research assistant at the Department of Public and International Law at the University of Oslo and interned at the Norwegian Human Rights Institution (NIM). She also has a background in journalism. During the next six months, Anne will assist the embassy in its work with the international institutions in The Hague, working closely with OPCW, ICJ and ICC.

Charlotte Velterop (23) from Rælingen is our new bilateral affairs intern. She holds a Bachelor's and Master’s degree in Political Science from the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam respectively. She will be assisting in our work with Norway’s relations to the Netherlands and Luxembourg. She also speaks Dutch, which will be helpful during her time at the embassy.

On 22 July 2011, 77 people were killed by a far-right extremist terrorist. Eight in the Government Quarter, and 69 on Utøya.
Most of them were young. Many were seriously injured, and countless others had their lives changed forever.

Fifteen years have passed since we promised each other to never be silent, never forget. We all have a responsibility to stand up against terrorism, extremism, and hateful rhetoric.

It is not often that we say goodbye to a colleague while already looking forward to welcoming them back. 👋 Last week marked the end of Natasha Simbi Bigwi’s six-month internship at the Embassy.

Over the past months, Natasha has been an integral part of our multilateral team, following developments at the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and other international institutions in The Hague. Through her insightful reporting, strong legal analysis, and commitment to multilateral cooperation and international justice, she has made valuable contributions to the Embassy’s work.

As a law student with a keen interest in international law and accountability, Natasha brought enthusiasm, professionalism, and curiosity to every task. Whether attending court hearings, covering diplomatic meetings, or supporting our multilateral engagement, she consistently impressed colleagues with her dedication and thoughtful contributions.

While Natasha's internship has now come to an end, this is fortunately far from a final farewell. We are delighted that she will be returning to the Embassy in September as Interim Adviser for Legal and Multilateral Affairs, continuing the excellent work she has already become known for.

Thank you, Natasha, for your hard work, positive spirit, and commitment throughout your internship. We wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to welcoming you back to the Embassy very soon.

See you in September, Natasha! 🇳🇴🇳🇱

The visit began with a bilateral meeting at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, where Minister Myrseth met with Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Heleen Herbert.

Yesterday the Norwegian Parliament’s delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, together with the embassy, visited the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) during their stay in The Hague 🇳🇴

ICMP plays an important role in locating and identifying people who have gone missing as a result of armed conflict, human rights violations, disasters, and other crises.

Norway is an active supporter of ICMP, including its important efforts related to the war in Ukraine. During the visit, the delegation was also given a tour of ICMP’s laboratory, where they learned more about the organisation’s scientific and forensic work to identify missing persons.
