On 29 July H.E. Mr. Espen Barth Eide, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway visited EIGE. EIGE largely presented its work and highlighted some of the current activities and priorities.  Special attention went to the Gender Equality Index. The Minister was most interested by the position of women in decision making.
