PM Modi Attends 3rd India-Nordic Summit in Oslo
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attending the 3rd India-Nordic Summit today in Oslo, where leaders from India and the five Nordic nations are discussing ways to strengthen cooperation in technology, renewable energy, trade, defence, and sustainability.
PM Modi attends 3rd India-Nordic Summit in Oslo: The summit brings together the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden alongside the Indian Prime Minister. The meeting aims to deepen the strategic partnership between India and the Nordic region amid growing global emphasis on green growth, innovation, and resilient economic partnerships.
Building on the Copenhagen Summit
Officials said the summit will build upon the progress achieved since the previous India-Nordic Summit held in Copenhagen in 2022. Discussions are expected to focus on emerging technologies, digital transformation, climate action, clean energy solutions, and sustainable development initiatives.
India and the Nordic nations have steadily expanded cooperation in sectors such as clean technologies, maritime industries, healthcare innovation, and sustainable urban development over the past few years.
Trade and Investment in Spotlight
Trade and investment remain key priorities during the summit. With the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) now in force, both sides are looking to strengthen economic engagement and create stronger business linkages.
India’s bilateral trade with the Nordic bloc currently stands at nearly 19 billion US dollars, reflecting growing economic cooperation between the regions. The leaders are also expected to explore new investment opportunities in renewable energy, green hydrogen, digital infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.
Bilateral Meetings on Sidelines of Summit
Apart from the multilateral discussions, Prime Minister Modi will hold separate bilateral meetings with the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Iceland, and Finland on the sidelines of the summit.
The meetings are expected to review ongoing collaborations and identify new areas of partnership in innovation, education, climate action, and security cooperation.
Strengthening India-Nordic Partnership
The India-Nordic Summit has emerged as an important platform for enhancing dialogue and cooperation between India and the Nordic region. The summit is also expected to provide an opportunity for leaders to exchange views on major regional and global developments of mutual interest.
With shared priorities in sustainability, technological innovation, and inclusive economic growth, India and the Nordic countries are seeking to build stronger long-term partnerships for the future.
