The ambassadors of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation were invited to the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2023.
Last year, the organizers decided not to invite Belarusian and Russian diplomats due to the start of a military special operation on the territory of Ukraine.
The executive director of the foundation, Helgesen, stated his desire to invite even countries that do not share the values of the Nobel Prize to participate in the event, reports.
In 2022, the organizing committee decided not to invite representatives of Russia and Belarus due to the start of a special operation in Ukraine.
Now, ambassadors of all countries whose diplomatic missions are registered in Sweden and Norway will be invited to present the prestigious awards.
At the same time, the media pay attention to the statement of the executive director of the Nobel Foundation, Vidar Helgesen, who noted that the world “continues to be divided into spheres,” and this complicates dialogue.
This is what Nobel Day is meant to confront, “the importance of free science, free culture and free peaceful societies.”
The Nobel Prize ceremony takes place annually in early October in Stockholm and Oslo.
Traditionally, prizes are awarded in physics, chemistry, medicine, and literature. The Peace Prize and the Swedish State Bank for Economics are also awarded.
