PER DITLEV-SIMONSEN IS THE MAYOR OF OSLO (2003-2007)

He is elected for a period of four years by the City Council. Though he has a background from The Conservative Party, his function as mayor and thus head of the City Council, implies a more neutral political position.

The mayor of Oslo heads the City Council and is the highest ranking representative of the city. On behalf of the city, the mayor is given the mandate to invite and greet welcome national and international delegations and individuals, representing organizations and institutions on different levels, such as political, cultural, social or economical.

Since Oslo is the capital of Norway, the mayor also plays an important part in connection with state visits. The mayor is representing the city when head of states are visiting Oslo, and quite often the city is given a reception of honour in the City Hall.

The city of Oslo has a system of local parliamentary government with an executive board which implements municipal policy. This differs from all other Norwegian municipalities, except the city of Bergen, which are governed in the traditional manner by the Board of Aldermen of the local municipal council. Concequently, the mayor of Oslo may be compared to carry out duties and tasks similar to a president on a national level.
