Norway has suspended plans to start giving licences for deep-sea mining next year that had faced opposition from environment groups and international institutions, a party allied with the centre-left government said on Sunday.

"There will be no announcement of exploration rights for deep-sea mining in 2024 or 2025," the party said in a statement.
