Oct 04, 2018 (newstodate): Norway's royal family is polishing the crown jewels in preparation for a shining state visit to China later this month.
The visit will take place October 17-19, 2018, and be a manifestation of the return of friendly relations between the two countries after a long period in the cooler after a Nobel Prize awarded to a Chinese dissident in 2010.
