Norwegian Prime Minister to Visit White House
Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush will welcome Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne
Bondevik for a meeting in the White House on December 5.
The Norwegian people have demonstrated strong solidarity with America
since the attack of September 11, and the Prime Minister's new
government has continued the support of its predecessor in taking a
number of concrete steps to help in the war on terrorism, both
bilaterally and as a NATO ally. This visit will allow the
President and Prime Minister to meet for the first time and to discuss
the road ahead in this common challenge.
