Italy’s Meloni visits Norway to boost energy, critical minerals ties
ROME, Sept 17 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is making the first official visit by an Italian leader to Norway in nearly 15 years on Thursday, seeking to deepen cooperation in areas including energy, critical minerals and defence, Italian sources said.
Meloni is due to meet Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere in Oslo and attend a dinner with business representatives from both countries aimed at promoting bilateral investment.
The trip is part of a broader effort to strengthen ties between Rome and Oslo, with a view to consolidating strategic cooperation in energy and expanding it into other sectors, the sources said.
