Angola–Norway relations are the bilateral and diplomatic relations between Angola and Norway. Norway has an embassy in Luanda, whereas Angola has a non resident embassy in Stockholm.

Foremost, Angola has been described as "Norway's most important economic partner in Africa". Both petroleum-rich countries, the state-owned Norwegian petroleum company Statoil ventured into Angola in 1991. Angola became Statoil's largest petroleum operation outside of the Norwegian shelf.[1]

Norway and Angola established diplomatic relations in 1977.[2] The Norwegian embassy in Luanda opened in 1998.[3]

Formerly, the embassy included an "embassy office" in Kinshasa, which was later upgraded to an embassy of its own. The Norwegian ambassador to Angola also has a side accreditation to São Tomé and Príncipe.[4] Notable Norwegian ambassadors in Luanda include Arild Retvedt Øyen (2002–2008).

## High level visits

[edit]

Prime Minister of Norway Erna Solberg visited Angola in December 2018.[5] This was the first visit by a Norwegian Prime Minister to Angola.[6]
