President Moon Jae-in arrived in Oslo on Tuesday, beginning the second leg of his week-long tour of Northern Europe.
Moon is expected to share his thoughts on the inter-Korean peace process and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a speech at the University of Oslo on Wednesday, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the historic first-ever summit between North Korea and the U.S.
Moon, the first South Korean president to make a state visit to Norway, will have a summit with Prime Minister Erna Solberg on Thursday and seek firm support for his administration’s Korea peace initiative.
Moon will then board a South Korean-built logistics and support ship in use by the Norwegian Navy in Bergen, Norway's second-largest city.
The president is scheduled to visit a house that belonged to the great Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg before departing for Stockholm to begin the last leg of his trip.
