Norway–Pakistan relations

Pakistani-Norwegian relations

Pakistan	Norway

Norway and Pakistan have extremely warm and strengthen ties. Norway's development cooperation with Pakistan dates back to mid-80s and has over the years evolved from commodity assistance to right-based development.^[1] The Norwegian government is contributing significantly towards documentation, preservation and dissemination of Pakistan traditional culture, arts, crafts and musical heritage, under an on-going joint institutional cooperation programme between Pakistan and Norway.^[2]

Pakistanis form the largest immigrant community in Norway^[3] and they were the first to arrive in Norway before immigrants of other nationalities. A vast majority of Pakistanis in Norway come from the Punjab, Pakistan and live in Norwegian cities such as Oslo and Drammen.^[4]

Norway maintains an embassy in Islamabad and a honorary consulate in Lahore^[5] and Pakistan has an embassy in Oslo.^[6]
