Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store shuffled his Cabinet on Monday after his center-left party was defeated in local elections last month by the center-right opposition party for the first time since 1924.
Espen Barth Eide, who was climate and environment minister in the outgoing two-party coalition, replaced Anniken Huitfeldt as foreign minister.
Eide had previously served as foreign minister in 2012-2013. Three ministers left the Cabinet and two were moved to new posts.
The Cabinet was expanded to 20 members as a new position for digitalization was created.
