Norway, the biggest exporter of gas to the U.K., will wait for clarity on the U.K.’s future relationship with the European Union before cementing its own future relationship on trade with Britain, the country’s foreign minister said.

“I hope to see great cooperation between Britain and Norway and trade arrangements that are as good as possible,” Boerge Brende said in a Bloomberg interview in London Monday. “It’s premature to discuss this in a formal way. It has to be informal dialogues before the formalities between the U.K. and the EU are decided on.”
