As part of the official visit of the President of Ukraine to Norway, Volodymyr Zelenskyy had an audience with King Harald V and members of the Royal Family – Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

The Head of State highly appreciated the Royal Family’s personal support for Ukrainian citizens who found refuge from the war in Norway.

"Your visit to the center for Ukrainian refugees in the first days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was an extremely powerful signal of Norway's support for our people. We thank Your Majesty for this," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The President expressed gratitude to the Norwegian people, government and parliament for the powerful humanitarian, financial and military assistance to our country, as well as for the introduction of a large-scale five-year support program for Ukraine in February 2023.

In addition, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and King Harald V of Norway met with President of Finland Sauli Niinistö at the Royal Palace.
