Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon held talks with his Norwegian counterpart. Sharon on Wednesday stopped in Modle, the hometown of Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, on his way back to Israel after a three-day visit to London. The two discussed Middle East peace efforts. About 500 protesters demonstrated against Sharon’s visit. “The foundation is being laid for a new relationship with” Europe, Sharon said on the plane to Norway, as he turned the page on the failed 1993 peace accords that were hatched in secret negotiations in Oslo, Norway.
