According to reports that emerged on Sunday, Norway has officially removed Pakistan from its list of countries considered to pose a national security threat. This move is the culmination of Pakistan’s successful diplomatic efforts to convince the Norwegian authorities to no longer categorize it as a nation of security concern.
The development was confirmed in the most recent publication by Norway’s Police Security Service, the entity tasked with overseeing intelligence and national security matters. Historically, Pakistan’s presence on Norway’s National Threat Assessment List has complicated matters for its students and researchers seeking opportunities abroad, often facing hindrances due to the negative perception of the listing.

The successful diplomatic endeavors by Pakistan have now paved the way for its exclusion from the list. This step is expected to enhance Pakistan’s image internationally and open up new avenues for academic and research opportunities for its citizens.
