OSLO (Reuters) - This year's Nobel Peace Prize will be as "interesting" as the ones awarded to Barack Obama and Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee told Reuters on Thursday.
Under the two-year leadership of Thorbjoern Jagland, an ex-Norwegian prime minister, the Nobel Peace Prize has been given to the U.S. President, then less than a year in office, and to the jailed democracy activist, infuriating Beijing to this day.
"I believe it will be an interesting prize also this year," said Jagland when asked how this year's laureate could compare with the previous two.
"It will be an interesting and very important prize ... I think it will be well-received."
