This document provides information about Norway, Malaysia, and non-verbal communication norms in each country. Norway has a population of 4.8 million, borders Finland and Russia, and has a high GDP per capita due to oil, gas, and other natural resources. Malaysia has a population of 28 million, including 23.7% who are Chinese, and its economy relies on agriculture, tin, rubber and palm oil. In Norway, people maintain an arm's length of personal space, there is little physical contact like hugging, and eye contact and standing up when meeting someone are important. In Malaysia, avoiding loud voices, talking politics, or touching heads are advised, and building relationships takes time.
