Britain should stay as closely connected to Europe's common market as it can after it leaves the European Union, the trade minister of EU outsider Norway said Tuesday.
"Britain is perhaps our most important economic partner. We want the future cooperation and trade conditions to be as good as today," trade and industry minister Monica Maeland said in a statement.
"The best for Norway is a "soft Brexit," which would keep Britain as closely tied to the common market as possible," she added.
While not an EU member, Norway is part of the union's common market through the European Economic Area treaty.
