Nobel Foundation Withdraws Invitations to Russian, Belarusian, and Iranian Ambassadors for Award Ceremony

The Nobel Foundation has withdrawn its invitations to the ambassadors of Russia, Belarus, and Iran to attend the Nobel Prize award ceremony set to take place in Stockholm. This was reported by the BBC.

The organization's statement indicated that the decision to invite representatives from countries with diplomatic missions in Sweden and Norway has sparked a sharp public reaction. The foundation has faced criticism regarding its decision, with leaders from three political parties in Sweden announcing plans to boycott the event unless the invitations to the ambassadors are rescinded.

It is worth noting that the Nobel Foundation had previously announced the decision to invite the ambassadors of Russia, Belarus, and Iran to the 2023 Nobel Prize award ceremony.
