On Sunday, June 16, Peter Kuran was elected as the new chairman of Caritas Norway. Kuran has significant experience from politics, civil society and church work.

I look forward to working with the talented management and staff of Caritas Norway, who every day make an invaluable effort for those who have the least, both at home and abroad.
