Norway–Pakistan relations are foreign relations between Norway and Pakistan. Norway provides development assistance to Pakistan, particularly in the areas of governance and education.[1] On a smaller scale, Norway has contributed toward documentation and preservation of Pakistan's cultural heritage.[2]

Pakistanis form one of the largest immigrant communities in Norway.[3][4] Most Pakistanis in Norway come from the Punjab, Pakistan,[citation needed] and live in Oslo and Drammen.[5]

Pakistan operates an Antarctic research station in the Norwegian-claimed Antarctic territory of Queen Maud Land.

Embassies

Norway maintains an embassy in Islamabad and an honorary consulate in Lahore[6] and Pakistan has an embassy in Oslo.[7]

Transportation

Pakistan International Airlines operates two flights from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Islamabad and Lahore.
