Norwegian PM advocates for deeper bilateral relations with China on AI, governance, climate change

Oslo / Beijing, May 19 (UNI) Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said on Monday that Norway seeks to continue developing bilateral trade with China and engage in cooperation on major global issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), governance and climate change.
Store made the remarks during a meeting with foreign journalists in Oslo, where he responded to questions on a range of topics including the 2025 Norwegian parliamentary elections, Arctic affairs, Norway-US relations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and recent tensions between India and Pakistan.
In response to a question from Xinhua, Store said that during his visit to China in September 2024, he had "the opportunity to talk very openly with the Chinese leadership," and felt the discussion was "good, open and low tension."
He acknowledged that Norway and China have differences on security-related issues, but reiterated that "we want to have cooperation with China on trade, on some of the major global political issues ... we need cooperation to move forward."

Store said Norway is not a key global decision-maker on AI, but emphasised the country's intention to encourage major powers to act responsibly.
"We will continue to tell China and the US that you should find a way to deal with AI and avoid the most negative impacts on climate, on the environment," he said.

"And on the broad global issues, we are very much engaging with China and will continue to do so," he added.
