Posthumous Honours
In October 2008, during his first visit to Afghanistan following the Serene attack, Foreign Minister Støre attended a ceremony at the Norwegian embassy where the Afghan education minister Mohammad Hanif Atmar unveiled the drawings for the Carsten Thomassen Library at the National Institute for Administration and Management, an elite institution to train future Afghan leaders, which will be built chiefly with the help of Norwegian funding. The Afghan minister said that Thomassen was a great journalist, and the Norwegian minister emphasized that naming the library in this way was a tribute to critical journalism and to education.
