Norwegian Ambassador Cecilie Landsverk stated an internal letter that the situation needed to be monitored as it could flare up again.
The embassy met with all Norwegian aid organisations with a presence in the country and other Norwegians living their shortly after Janne Kristiansen stepping down, VG reports.
Frode Overland Andersen, Norwegian Foreign Ministry Assistant Director General, told The Foreigner, “Norway has a good working relationship with Pakistan, which isn’t changed following all the attention surrounding the matter.”
“It’s natural the embassy should monitor these types of cases, which has received major media scrutiny.”
