With the King finally back in Norway, it was time for the Norwegian authorities to take over civil administration from the Allies. The Swedish Riksdag used the 40th anniversary of the dissolution of the union to wish the Storting the best of luck in the resumption of its work. Thursday 7th June 1945 was a date for the history books.
Masud Gharahkhani, President of the Storting, and Ine Eriksen Søreide, Chair of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, gave speeches to mark Liberation and Veterans Day on 8th May 2025.
