Norway says it never interfered with a legal challenge mounted by Somalia against Kenya over a maritime boundary dispute.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, while speaking generally of the Kenya-Norway ties, used the occasion to clarify his country’s role when Kenya and Somalia fought at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the Indian Ocean border.
