Halvard Lange
Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAL : Halvard Lange
Halvard Mathey Lange (1902 - 1970) was a Norwegian diplomat. A member of the Labour Party, which he joined in 1927, he was viewed as "right-wing", partially because of his strong support for Western alignment. He was the Norwegian foreign minister from 1946 till 1965, except for a month in 1963 during the administration of John Lyng. Just before taking the job of foreign minister, he became a member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee in 1945; although he went on leave in 1946, when he took up the foreign minister's job, he remained officially on the committee until 1948.
His father was Nobel Peace Prize winner Christian Lous Lange.
