Secretary-General of ASEAN Dr Kao Kim Hourn received a gift from Norway to the ASEAN Secretariat, presented by Ambassador of Norway to ASEAN Kjell Tormod Pettersen.
The gift is a replica of the Statsraad Lemkuhl, Norway’s largest and oldest square-rigged sailing ship that has been modernised to become a world-class maritime research vessel.
The miniature also symbolises Norway’s commitment to conducting maritime and marine research, sharing knowledge, and raising awareness about the importance of the ocean for sustainable future, a commitment shared by ASEAN.
