Big Hopes for Strong Malaysia-Norway Cooperation in the Future

The tone was set from the start when the Malaysian-Norwegian Forum of Competence was officially opened this morning.

As soon as His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon took the stage, he started off by thanking Malaysia and the people he has met here for the experiences they have given him and the Crown Princess. After a brief talk about how the visit has lived up to their expectations, he quickly moved on to the topic that is the whole purpose of the Royal Visit to Malaysia: the strong bond and business relationship that has existed between Norway and Malaysia for 42 years. He said, among other things, that he hopes that the increasingly strong relationship between Malaysia and Norway will continue to grow and that the seminar will open the doors to many new business opportunities.
