Yesterday Public Affairs Officer Tristram Perry engaged with 50 freshman students at the American College of Norway and spoke with them about diplomacy and the U.S. Embassy’s work in Norway. The students are part of a unique program where they complete their first year of college in Norway and then transfer to the United States to complete their degrees. The American College of Norway is a close partner of the U.S. Embassy, and we are thankful for their hard work in promoting U.S. education opportunities in Norway.

The U.S. Embassy had a wonderful time hosting the panel at Arendalsuka 2019 in association with Akademikerne, ANSA - Association of Norwegian Students Abroad, AmCham Norway, and EducationUSA Norway. During the panel, representatives from Google, the Association of Norwegian Students Abroad, NHO - Næringslivets Hovedorganisasjon and Manpower Norge shared their views on the benefits of International education and why some Norwegian companies are losing out on valuable skills when failing to hire students with International experience.

U.S. Ambassador Braithwaite was interviewed by TV 2 Journalist Kjell Persen to discuss the importance of Norway’s leadership in NATO. In 2014, all NATO allies, including Norway, agreed to commit two percent of their GDP to defense spending by 2024. As a leader in Europe and NATO, other nations “look to Norway.” Check out the interview at: https://www.tv2.no/a/10779980/
