Jonas Gahr Støre

Prime Minister

We are pleased to announce that Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre will open the NHH Symposium 2025!

With his deep insight into global issues and an impressive career in foreign policy, Støre is one of Norway’s most experienced and respected statesmen. As Minister of Foreign Affairs in Jens Stoltenberg’s government (2005–2012), he laid the foundation for Norway’s modern foreign policy profile and has since been a leading voice in international relations.

On March 19, 2025, Støre will take the stage at the NHH Symposium to share his perspectives on this year’s theme, “Balancing the Scales,” which highlights the geopolitical imbalance on the global agenda. With his unique understanding of how global forces impact both national and international affairs, he will provide insights that are more relevant than ever.
