Arrival alongside the Tower of Belém
King Harald V and Queen Sonia of Norway commenced a State Visit to Portugal at the invitation of the President of the Republic and Mrs. Cavaco Silva. The Norwegian monarchs came ashore from the Royal Yacht “Norge" in the Princess Dock, alongside the Tower of Belém, where the King of Norway received military honours.
After this, in Jerónimos Monastery, King Harald laid a wreath of flowers on the tomb of Luís de Camões, followed by a visit to the cloisters of the Monastery.
Later, in the Palace of Belém, the two couples met for a few moments before the meeting between the President of the Republic and the King of Norway, after which both Heads of State held a press conference. The two couples lunched together in the Palace Residence.
