Norway and China met on Monday on the sidelines of an Asia-Europe summit, marking their first official contact since a Chinese dissident was given the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian prime minister said.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told public broadcaster NRK that he had held a brief meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao while attending the summit in Laos.
Relations cooled between the two countries after the pro-democracy dissident Liu Xiaobo, who Beijing considers a “criminal”, was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. Reported by S.China Morning Post 28 minutes ago.
