Governor Tim Walz speaking with Norway Queen Sonja
ST. PAUL – Governor Tim Walz says it was an honor to meet with Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway. The governor helped kick off the Queen’s four-day visit to Minnesota on Thursday.
He says the ties culturally, socially, economically, and security-wise go back to the founding of Minnesota and he says he looks forward to further strengthening and expanding the ties.
The Minnesota National Guard and Norwegian Home Guard have an annual troop exchange program, which will mark 50 years in February.
The Queen will also visit St. Olaf College in Northfield and attend a 100th-anniversary event of the founding of the Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church, “Mindekirken.”
