The Taliban’s Luxury Visit to Norway Is Considered a Waste of IDR 11 Billion

OSLO – The meeting between the Norwegian government and the Taliban delegation received a lot of criticism from inside and outside the country. The agenda is considered a waste of Norwegian tax funds.

In a Sputnik report on Monday (24/1/2022), Norwegian Progress Party leader Sylvi Listhaug said the meeting discussing human rights and Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis was as naive as “believing in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny at the same time”.

The arrival of a Taliban delegation in Oslo Gardermoen for three days of talks with diplomats from Norway and other countries at the luxury conference hotel Soria Moria in the Norwegian capital sparked a strong reaction.
