as we take on the world, 8 hours, i do all this. yes, we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes to find. policeman follow being paid. $2.00 are we are your is actually on fire made for mines. ah. i'm now joined by under conflict, felt the norwegian, foreign minister, foreign minister ukraine has been launching quite a successful counter offensive in recent days. how much is no way prepared to deliver to ukraine so that this momentum can actually be seized?

prime ministers, directive wasted. zack here this summer and promise them funding to ukraine for like 1000000000 euro, which i think will be important. this money goes to weapons of course, but also to humanitarians assistance and also money. so they can them buy more gas . so it's important for us to unite with ukraine and no way we haven't delivered weapon, took them to conflict countries and conflict for more than 60 years. but when we changed the practice when this war started, and like countries like sweden and finland also did. so they see enormous solidarity with the ukraine and people were in no way, we do also have a border tricia. so we know what this neighbor is above to, even though they have a different policy open to hi norse than they have towards ukraine to changing

this position of actually delivering weapons to a crisis area. that is, of course, something that you have in common with a country like germany. we've also changed our position here in this country. what should germany be doing? which weapons should it deliver to ukraine? well, as a purely german decision. so less my message ship but doesn't overall hughes. i think it has been very important. western countries have been sending weapons to your friends so they can be able to protect themselves without those weapons though, would be another game in another situation. ukraine, by some way, also supports ukraine in terms of delivering humanitarian aid. now you've come to berlin to discuss the topic of gender issues in foreign policy. so which role do gender issues play in this conflict with russia? we get several reports about how women are affected on the ground. we can see

rapes use as a weapon in this war and also other worse all around the world. so we need to focus very clearly on the consequences for both men and women in this conflict. and more broadly, perhaps gender issues in foreign policy is something that norway has long advocated for. but it is a topic that not many countries so far have been taking on board that is beginning to change. and why all the scandinavian countries such an exception and what can other countries learn from your country? we have this experience. if we are bringing women to the table in a conflict situation, the, the peace deal tend to last longer is basically because their perspectives are being both in we'll see that in several conflicts in the world. we have host to dialogue between the different groups in columbia for like 10 years to get with

cuba. there has been very many women and lead delegation. women have been included around the table as victims. it's also as mediators. so that's absolutely crucial in order to the left piece, still love no way supports multilateralism as an approach to essentially look at solutions for worldwide conflict. now multilateralism is being tested in the arctic of calls where the melting ice is now bringing more natural resources to the surface. and countries like the u. s. and china and russia using this field to pursue their own strategic interest. how uncomfortable is they for norway? well, i think you said general description of the situation that there is more like state this fall in the arctic. we are trying to do to keep the low tension and

the height and off. but we can really see very visible climate change just up there . we need to corporate very strongly with the other artic nation. no way has of course being a nato member from the very start of the alliance. now finland and sweden olson, scandinavia are about to joined the alliance. what hopes do you have for them membership? it means a lot to always security because we have been working stronger and stronger together with finland and sweden over the last years after 989. but still, there has been, have been limitations due to the fact that they have been neutral and we've been a member of nato. now it's very much easier to build a common defense strategy that would make no way safe for the nato alliance has

given itself the goal of spending 2 percent of the national budget on defense. now, what is the discussion in norway right now? do people feel like more is necessary? yeah, we do have a program for strengthening over military press up into high north. we have a very special security policy because we are and based on the security policy on the churn together with allies. so we host a huge military exercise earlier this spring with house and stuff soldiers from close allies around europe and also canada. united states came to the waters and took, took him a took place in in nowhere the spring. but on the other hand, we also trying to do our utmost to keep lo penson. and by doing that,

we are balancing the weight and interest of and which less food can be drawn from russia's war on ukraine for other crises around the world. we've been in security council for almost 2 years now, and we have been able even the situation to find common solutions by working very closely with other countries in the security council. and this is very important that we don't get a spillover effect to all the conflicts. some conflicts will be more difficult to solve. but all this may be a window opportunity because this conflict, this floor, has global consequences. we conceive said increase of food prices increase in energy prices. however, need, we need to maintain the architecture as good as we can with is difficult to work

with russian. now of course, when you look at other crises around the world, which are the crises that you have your eye on most, we are working strongly on the columbia and also venezuela. i am going to chair meeting in a donor group for palestine. when i'm going to new york next week and a new situation in the middle east, where we need to encourage more dialogue between all the countries in that region. well also we are priority for no way. so we have been taking part in many talks during the last 30 years. however, we never put pressure on the party. that's not the now which model. but we will be happy if countries or parks in

a conflict would invite no way a mediator in several of these companies here in europe. many people for decades have relied on the fact that the u. s. would ultimately protect europe and european countries don't need to be too active themselves. but we've seen the united states be more more focused on the in the pacific to what should a country like germany, which is of course, one of europe strongest countries do in terms of protecting europe. well, that's actually my point when i'm given spacious about the new security. the will be less attention from united states because they have their ice on what's happening in asia and that part of the world. and we need to take me a core care of our own territories. and germany certainly are stepping up. and we've had a very, very strong corporation with germany during last years,

basically dispensing things. and i think in the or would your country consider joining the european union? there are different opinions on that in, in no way we had one referred them intelligence to what people will know. and at another one in $94.00, where also the majority of people voted no ongoing debate in the western society. whether we should join or not and can know weeds in foreign minister. thank you very much. with
