[text/observer network chen sijia] norwegian prime minister støre arrived in beijing on the morning of september 9 and will pay an official visit to china from september 9 to 11. according to the norwegian broadcasting corporation (nrk) on the 8th, støre said before his departure that norway and china are friends who respect each other. although there are some differences between the two countries, norway must cooperate and trade with china and will not choose the diplomatic route of "completely leaning towards the united states."

steller said he has always been interested in china, a country with a long history and rich culture, and he has witnessed china's rapid economic development and increasing international influence. speaking of the trade dispute between china and the united states, steller said he hopes that china and the united states will work together to avoid confrontation, and if the trade dispute escalates, norway's position will be consistent with that of european partners.

steller believes that other european countries largely agree with norway's views, advocating cooperation and open dialogue, while also taking into account security issues in certain areas. he stressed: "measures considered by the united states in its relations with china will not automatically become our measures. for example, norway has not imposed tariffs on chinese cars."

when asked if he would buy a chinese electric car, steller responded: "no one has advised me not to do so. i have a german electric car, but i am not afraid to get in a chinese electric car."
