1. Norway Wants NATO To Prepare For An Arctic Showdown


Nowaday Norway is worried about conflit with Russia because of their aggressive stance towards neighbor countries and it is necessary preparing a countermeasire for the war in an Arctic environment. In short, Norway wants the alliance to be better prepared to fight a war in an Arctic environment against Russia.

I'm also worried about Russian millitary power and their nuclear technology. Because of these things if Russia starts war, the war will go on their own initiative. Cosequently in the meeting between Stephan Saideman, a leading expert on Canadian defense and foreign policy, and Lt. Gen Morten Haga Lunde, a Norwegian three-star general, they talked about the war seriously and make a plan to defend from Russians' attack. However I think the most worry is the ability of outbreak the Third World war and the ruin of the arctic environment by the battle so I hope the war won't occur.

2. Norway asked to receive more Syrian refugees


In Norway, there was temporary residance accommodates about 5,000 Syrian regugees. But now, Norwegian government announced they are ready to recieve 1,000 more Syrian refugees and they are preparing more temporary residance.

I am convinced that Norwegian government didn't do it just for thier national fame. They might really mean to help Syrian refugees. However I don't think it is absolutely right doing because the more Norway offer them food, shelter and madical services, the harder Norwegian develops their society. Consquently I think if Norawy work it with the world volunteer organization, it will be able to help more refugees and give them better services also Norway can save their national property.

3. Norway's Oil Fund Targets Bigger International Footprint


Norway has the Sleipner gas platform in the North Sea and its oil fund plans to boost its international exposure on early Tuesday. In other words OSLO, the world biggest Norwegian wealth fund, wants more works to develop their oil fund. Additionally this article show us the Norwegian oil markets situations of close past and current.

These days oil is very important for human lives as material of transportations and many uses. So I think if a country has many big oil companies, the country improve its economic level and life wealth of nations by earning foreign currency. So I expect the trades between Norway and other countries will be brisk and Norway will be able to become a world economic powerful nation by develping its oil fund. However I'm not sure whether they will start oil trade or save the wealthy material.
