We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings.

Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the poor and the persecuted in other countries.

Terrorism is contempt for human dignity.

We have to find compromises. That's the way it is in Norway.

Don't believe those who claim that only left wing parties really care about employment.

The burden of proof is now on the Palestinians... They must fight terrorism and dismantle its infrastructures in order to make possible progress on the roadmap.

Unfortunately, religion, like patriotism, is easy to misuse for political purposes.
