OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg will travel to China next week to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, Norway said on Friday, the first visit by a Norwegian premier since the countries resumed diplomatic relations in December.

Until then relations between Oslo and Beijing had been on ice due to the award of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
