In addition, Safadi met with Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence in Norwegian Parliament, Representative Anniken Huitfeldt and her First deputy chair, Michael Tetzschner, at the Norwegian Parliament headquarters, during which they discussed frameworks for strengthening bilateral ties based on a deep partnership and common values.
