Prime Minister of Palestine visiting Government Quarter

The Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has been visiting the government quarter in Oslo. He placed a bouquet of flowers at the government high-rise building and presented Minister Rigmor Aasrud with a figure in remembrance of the victims of the terrorist attacks on 22 July.

- The acts of terror at Utøya and here in the government quarter have made a deep impression on Prime Minister Fayed and the Palestinian people. He appreciated the opportunity to visit the government quarter and express his sympathy with the bereaved relatives and victims of the terrorist’s cruel misdeeds. He also said he was impressed by how the Norwegian people had responded to the acts of terror.

On the figure presented by Mr. Fayed to Ms Aasrud there is a plaque with this inscription:

In memoriam of the victims of the terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utøya on 22 July 2011. “Have courage and believe: darkness will never overcome the light.”
From: Salam Fayad, Prime Minister of Palestine, 24 November 2011.
