“It will be a great honour and privilege for me to welcome His Majesty King Philippe and Her Majesty Queen Mathilde to the Storting. Belgium is an important partner and close ally of Norway. At a time when geopolitical change is challenging our common values, solidarity among like-minded democracies is more important than ever,” said Mr Gharahkhani ahead of the visit.

President of the Storting Gharahkhani will be receiving the Royal Couple outside the Storting’s main entrance at Løvebakken.
