Norwegian Minister Visit


Espen Barth Eide, the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, visited the Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI) to explore the policy-relevant knowledge generated by the institute and discuss its potential role in shaping Norwegian foreign policies and priorities. During the visit, CMI researcher Lovise Aalen presented The ARM Project, highlighting its significant contributions to the field.

The ARM Project is uniquely positioned to provide knowledge that can directly influence Norwegian foreign policy. Espen Barth Eide’s visit underscored the alignment between Norwegian government engagement and the focus areas within The ARM Project.
