In a significant development that highlights successful diplomatic efforts, Norway has officially removed Pakistan from its National Threat Assessment list. This decision, reported by ARY News on Sunday, came after a report issued by the Norwegian Police Security Service.
For a considerable period, Pakistan, along with other nations, had been regularly included in Norway’s National Threat Assessment list.
This inclusion caused concerns and created obstacles for Pakistani students and researchers. Being on the list resulted in various difficulties, hindering the academic and professional pursuits of individuals associated with Pakistan.
Moreover, Pakistan’s presence on the list was often exploited for negative propaganda by certain sections of the Indian media.
However, Norway’s recent decision to remove Pakistan from the list is a positive step forward. It brings hope for improved bilateral relations between the two countries and signals a reduction in unwarranted scrutiny and challenges faced by Pakistani citizens abroad.
This move is expected to foster greater cooperation and understanding between Pakistan and Norway, contributing to a more positive and constructive relationship.
