Islamabad: In a significant diplomatic achievement, Norway has decided to remove Pakistan from its National Threat Assessment List, a move that is expected to open up new opportunities for Pakistani students and researchers.
The decision to remove Pakistan from the list follows effective diplomatic efforts by Pakistan, which successfully persuaded Norwegian authorities to exclude Pakistan’s name from their list of nations of security concern.
The announcement was made through the latest report issued by Norway’s Police Security Service, responsible for intelligence and security matters within the country. Pakistan had been listed in Norway’s National Threat Assessment for years, posing challenges for Pakistani students and researchers facing obstacles due to their country’s inclusion on the list.
Pakistan’s diplomatic initiatives have borne fruit, leading to its removal from the list. This decision is anticipated to bolster Pakistan’s positive image on the global platform and create new educational opportunities for its students and researchers.
The removal of Pakistan from Norway’s National Threat Assessment List marks a significant step towards strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries and fostering greater cooperation in various fields.
