Jonas Gahr Støre tells the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv that his conversation with his Danish counterpart was “good”.
Mette Frederiksen is a close partner, both politically and personally, he says.
We had a good phone call and agreed that we have different views on the conversation (with Putin).
Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb spoke by phone with the Russian president earlier this week about the war in Ukraine - a conversation described in a joint press release as “candid” and held at the initiative of Støre and Stubb.
Neither Frederiksen nor Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) had been informed about the conversation and were critical of it afterwards.
