The officer also analyzes local media, assists diplomats, and coordinates events. 

 

Culture

The embassy of Israel in Norway works to create meaningful Cultural collaborations between the countries.
 
We also strive for stronger bilateral ties between Norwegian and Israeli Academy.
This applies at university level, at researcher level and at student level.
