As Trump raises tariffs, Europe looks east

Norwegian King Harald V and Queen Sonja will pay a state visit to China from Oct 11 to 20 at the invitation of President Xi Jinping.

The upcoming visit of the Norwegian king and queen to China is a political and symbolic expression of the deepening relationship between China and Norway, the country's top envoy in China said on Tuesday. Together with the king and queen is a Norwegian business delegation of 340 people representing 140 companies.

"It will be the largest business delegation ever from Norway to China. That is a record," said Knug Sørlie, the embassy's commercial councilor. According to Sørlie, a total of 40 commercial agreements will be signed during the visit, "which reflects the dynamism of China-Norway business cooperation and will also consolidate and further deepen bilateral business relations".

The Norwegian ambassador said :
"The free trade agreement is a priority for both countries," he said. "We believe it is more important than ever to have political and economic dialogues, and exchanges of tourists, investment and trade between the two countries."

We will be left behind and instead of the smartest people coming here they will go elsewhere and the orange maggots immigration policies will cause the smart immigrants and job creators to leave. Canada is going to start gaining in population. I was in Vancouver recently it’s expensive but I could definitely live there.
