PM Modi to visit Norway for India-Nordic Summit in May, geopolitics likely to be in focus

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Oslo on May 15-16 to participate in the third India-Nordic Summit.

The summit will bring together leaders from all five Nordic countries—Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland—to focus on increasing collaboration in areas such as trade, innovation, green energy, climate change, and the blue economy, according to the Firstpost.

Geopolitical topics are expected to dominate discussions, including global peace and security and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Prior to this engagement, PM Modi held a conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, during which they deliberated on both bilateral and international matters, Firstpost reported.

The Indian government said in a statement that the leaders recognized the value of high-level interactions since the Green Strategic Partnership's launch in 2020. They noted the expansion of this partnership across various sectors, which has facilitated Danish investments in India's green transition, while also addressing regional and global concerns of mutual interest.
