US PRESIDENT TO ATTEND OSLO NOBEL PEACE PRIZE CEREMONY
Baku, December 10 (AzerTAc). US President Barack Obama will collect his Nobel Peace Prize at a ceremony in Norway`s capital, Oslo, shortly.
The prize was awarded to Mr Obama in October for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples". The ceremony comes days after Mr Obama announced he was sending 30,000 extra US soldiers to the war in Afghanistan.
He signed the Nobel Prize book of previous recipients at the start of the day`s events.
President Obama arrived in Oslo with his wife, Michelle, on Thursday morning, but will stay only one day. Events are usually held over three days.
Amid high security throughout the city, he will deliver a speech, meet Norway`s royal family, watch a procession and dine at a banquet.
