Norwegian–Pakistani relations

Pakistan
Norway

Norway–Pakistan relations are warm. Norway provides development assistance to Pakistan, particularly in the areas of governance and education.[1] On a smaller scale, Norway has contributed toward documentation and preservation of Pakistan's cultural heritage.[2]

Pakistanis form one of the largest immigrant community in Norway.[3][4] Most Pakistanis in Norway come from the Punjab, Pakistan, and live in Oslo and Drammen.[5]

Norway maintains an embassy in Islamabad and an honorary consulate in Lahore[6] and Pakistan has an embassy in Oslo.[7]
