In a landmark achievement that demonstrates successful diplomatic efforts, Norway has formally removed Pakistan from its National Threat Assessment.
For a long time, Pakistan, along with other countries, was consistently listed in Norway’s National Threat Assessment list.
This inclusion raised concerns and presented challenges for Pakistani students and academics. Being on the list resulted in different challenges, impeding the academic and professional ambitions of people linked with Pakistan.
Furthermore, Pakistan’s inclusion on the list was frequently used for negative propaganda by certain parts of the Indian media.
However, Norway’s recent decision to remove Pakistan from the list is a positive step forward. It raises hopes for better bilateral relations between the two countries and indicates a reduction in undue scrutiny and challenges for Pakistani people abroad.
This action is likely to increase cooperation and understanding between Pakistan and Norway, resulting in a more positive and constructive relationship.
