Crown Prince of Norway comes to Poland
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon of Norway arrived on Tuesday in the northern Polish city of Gdansk, where he will meet with Poland's former president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lech Walesa.
Crown Prince Haakon is accompanied by Ragnhild Sjoner Syrstad, the state secretary at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, and Oystein Bo, the Norwegian ambassador to Poland.
Following a brief stroll through the streets of Gdansk's Old Town, during which the Norwegian delegation was accompanied by Gdansk Mayor Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, the crown prince is scheduled to visit the Maritime Culture Centre to unveil a plaque commemorating the establishment of a base for the Equinor Norwegian energy company in the Baltic Sea town of Leba, which operates wind farms in the region.
Later on Tuesday, the crown prince will lay a wreath at the Monument to Fallen Shipyard Workers of 1970 and pay a visit to the European Solidarity Centre where he will meet with Walesa.
