Nepal–Norway relations are bilateral relations between Nepal and Norway. Diplomatic relations were established on 26 January 1973. Norway established an embassy in Kathmandu in 2000.[1] Nepal has a non-resident ambassador in Copenhagen.

State visits

In 2008, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim visited Nepal.[2] In 2009, the Nepalese Prime Minister Prachanda visited Norway.[3]

Norwegian aid

Norway's aid to Nepal was around 32 million USD in 2017. Norwegian aid prioritizes education, good governance and energy.[4]

Embassy bombing

In May 2008, a small bomb exploded outside the Norwegian embassy in Kathmandu. No one was injured and there was no claim of responsibility. A spokesperson for the Norwegian foreign ministry said that Norway's support for the peace process in Nepal could have been a motive.[5][6]
