With gratitude and respect for a lifetime of service to Norway. 🇳🇴
Today, Norway mourns the passing of His Majesty King Harald V.
For more than three decades, King Harald was a unifying figure for Norway – a King for the whole country and for all the people who call Norway home. Through times of celebration, change and hardship, he represented our nation with warmth, dignity and a remarkable ability to bring people together.
His contribution also reached far beyond our borders. Through state visits, international engagement and his strong support for Norwegian business and industry, King Harald helped build relationships, create trust and open doors for Norway and Norwegian companies around the world.
For those of us working to build bridges between Norway and the rest of the world, that legacy carries particular meaning.
King Haakon now inherits an extraordinary legacy and undoubtedly has much to live up to. But it is difficult to imagine a stronger foundation on which to begin his own chapter as King.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Royal Family and join everyone across Norway in gratitude for King Harald’s lifetime of service.
Rest in peace, Your Majesty.
1937–2026
