KIEV, July 6 – President Petro Poroshenko will visit Norway in October, Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende announced.

"We've discussed further development of [our bilateral] partnership, in particular in light of the president's visit to Norway and his meeting with the PM during the middle of October," Brende said at a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Palvo Klimkin on Wednesday in Kiev.

Brende says Norway assists Ukraine in these complicated times by helping Ukraine conduct key reforms, as well as allocating finances for helping internally displaced persons.
