Deeply saddened by the passing of His Majesty King Harald V. During his 35 years on the throne and beyond, he showed himself to be a dedicated leader. His own military roots made him a champion of the Norwegian military and a long-time friend of NATO. My deepest condolences to the Royal Family, and to our #NATO# Ally Norway
