"The president looks forward to thanking the prime minister personally for Norway's important contribution to the Nato mission in Libya," it said of the anticipated Oval Office meeting.

Obama also plans to discuss a range of issues with Stoltenberg including "Afghanistan, Middle East peace, the Arctic, global health, climate change, the famine in Somalia and support for the new democracies in North Africa."
