 | | The King of Norway took a global view at a Club luncheon last week, including a reminder that the U.S. is delinquent in its financial obligation to the UN. |
 | | King Harald V said, although Norwegian votes had twice rejected by small margins integration with the European Union, we "continue to conduct a policy of close cooperation with the EU." In addition, said the royal visitor, in areas of foreign and security policies, "Norway has a bilateral arrangement for political consultations with the EU." |
 | | Representing a founding member of NATO, the King listed areas where NATO faces new challenges: international terrorism and crime, the spreading of mass destruction weapons, nuclear contamination, nationalistic and ethnic conflicts and serious environmental problems. |
