- This is an exciting challenge that I am looking forward to with great anticipation, says Anniken Hauglie.
- The oil- and gas industry is very important to Norway. It is essential to ensure income to the nation, our welfare, to employment all over the country, and as a key driver to technology and research that is important to Norway. The industry will also be crucial to ensure that we reach our climate goals, says Hauglie.
