The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Norway have written to new NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg, urging his organisation to play a stronger role in peace building.

Quakers in Norway stressed the importance of diplomatic channels ‘from first to last in all conflicts’, and asked that the United Nations system be utilised to its fullest capacity.
