Oslo - Norwegian King Harald and Queen Sonja will attend the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, reports said Wednesday.
The reports said that the royals will be joined by Petroleum and Energy Minister Terje Riis-Johansen at the August 8 ceremony.
Culture and Sports Minister Trond Giske, the cabinet member who most vocally backed earlier calls for staying away from the opening ceremony to protest human rights concerns, was slated to attend the closing ceremony with Crown Prince Haakon.
