King Harald and Queen Sonja have accepted the invitation from His Majesty King Abdullah II to pay a state visit to Jordan in 2020. The visit is planned for 2-4 March, and will be their first state visit to the Middle East.
State visits encourage, enhance and strengthen contact with other countries. The purpose of a state visit is to build relations and promote Norwegian interests abroad.
When His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon begins his official visit to Kenya and Mozambique 10 February, the purpose is the same.
