Rooted in more than a century of strong historical partnership between Norway and the United States, the Royal Norwegian Consulate in Fargo, ND represents the Government of Norway and its commitment to serving Norwegian citizens and Norwegian-Americans in the region. Norway's relationship with America runs deep—between 1825 and 1940, more than one-third of Norway's population emigrated to America, creating lasting family and cultural connections that continue today. As allies since World War II and co-founders of both the United Nations and NATO, Norway and the United States maintain a special relationship that this consulate helps nurture at the local level. The Honorary Consul appointed to serve Fargo operates on a voluntary basis, embodying the spirit of diplomatic service while promoting Norwegian interests and fostering bilateral cooperation. This consulate bridges the gap between Norwegian citizens living in or visiting North Dakota and their homeland, offering support with voting in Norwegian elections, receiving ballots, and providing essential information about life in Norway. By serving the Fargo community with cultural awareness and diplomatic expertise, the Royal Norwegian Consulate in Fargo, ND honors the rich Norwegian-American heritage of the region while strengthening the bonds between two democratic nations with shared values of freedom, cooperation, and mutual respect.
