For the first time in four decades, the French president officially visited Norway. Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte arrived in Oslo, where they were welcomed by the royal family. The Royal House of Norway published the photos.
The visit began with a working lunch between the French president and Norwegian Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, at the historic Akershus Fortress. After lunch, an official meeting was held at the prime minister’s office.
While the president discussed state affairs, Brigitte Macron had a separate program: the first lady spent time with Queen Sonja and Crown Princess Mette-Marit in the gallery named after the queen.
Later, during the visit, Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Ingrid Alexandra welcomed President Macron at a meeting organized with business community representatives.
The highlight of the day was a gala dinner hosted by the royal family in honor of the French delegation. Among the guests were Crown Prince Haakon and his wife, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner.
