Blinken praises Norwegian contribution in Kabul: “Something we will never forget”
On Friday, Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide met her American colleague Antony Blinken, who praised the Norwegian effort in Kabul in Afghanistan.
Søreide was invited to Washington to meet Blinken. Afterward, they met the press, where Blinken highlighted the Norwegian contribution in Afghanistan.
“We see it in many ways, in many places, but also in recent weeks at the airport in Kabul where Norway led the field hospital that took care of those who were wounded in the terrorist attack. That is something we will never forget,” Blinken said, according to the newspaper VG.
He also pointed out how he spent a lot of time together with Søreide, both in Brussels and NATO. He also highlighted their numerous telephone conversations.
