Hadia Tajik (born 18 July 1983) is a Pakistani-Norwegian jurist, journalist and politician. On 21 September 2012, she was appointed Minister of Culture and, at 29 years of age, became the youngest minister ever to serve in the Norwegian government, as well as the first Muslim and Asian.[1] She is a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party representing Oslo.[2]

Unlike some of her older predecessors and colleagues, Tajik is an enthusiastic user of social media, and an avid supporter of E-books, and as a result she is often called Norway's "first digital Minister of Culture".[3]
