Søreide was invited to Washington to meet Blinken. Afterwards, 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. It’s something we will never forget, said Blinken, according to VG.
He also pointed out how he and Søreide have spent a lot of time together, both in Brussels and NATO, as well as a number of telephone conversations.
– It shows that our partnership with Norway is among the most important and vital we have, Blinken said.
