After 19 months of diplomatic stagnation, China has sent a new ambassador to Norway. Some interpret this as a sign of softening of the cool relations between the two countries. The relationship between Norway and China have been cool due to the imprisoned Chinese dissident and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo, wo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010. Zhao Juns predecessor in Norway tried to get an apology from the Norwegian authorities, but without success. The fact that China now sends a follower rather than let the ambassador post in Oslo blank, is interpreted as a positive sign.
King Harald granted the new Ambassador of China, His Excellency Mr Zhao Jun, (as well as the new Ambassador of Malta, His Excellency Mr Martin Valentino,) a formal audience yesterday, May 22, 2012.

Has the King expressed any opinion on the disestablishment of the Lutheran Church of Norway? I assume with this act that the King is no longer titular head of the church.
