ISLAMABAD: Norway has made a significant decision by removing Pakistan from its national Threat Assessment list.
The decision comes as a result of Islamabad’s effective diplomatic efforts which persuaded Norwegian authorities to exclude Pakistan’s name from their list of security concern countries.
The announcement was made in the latest report released by Norway’s Police Security Service, a body responsible for intelligence and security issues within the country.
For several years, Pakistan, along with other countries, had found itself listed in Norway’s National Threat Assessment. It posed challenges for Pakistani researchers and students, who often faced hurdles due to their country’s status on the list.
Indian Role in Pakistan’s Inclusion in List
Indian media had also played a role in propagating against Pakistan’s inclusion in the threat list, further complicating the matter.
However, Islamabad’s diplomatic endeavours proved fruitful, leading to its removal from the list.
This decision is likely to enhance Pakistan’s soft image on the international stage and open up new educational opportunities for its researchers and students.
With Pakistan no longer regarded as a national threat by Norway, it paves the way for improved ties between the two nations and greater collaboration in various fields.
