Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Norway on May 18 and 19 for an official trip, according to the Norwegian Government. During the visit, he will take part in the third Nordic-Indian Summit alongside leaders from Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden.
This will be the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Norway since 1983. Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to hold talks with Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. Both leaders will also meet Indian and Norwegian business representatives at the Norway-India Business and Research Summit. His Majesty the King will also receive Prime Minister Modi in audience.
“India is the world’s largest democracy and the world’s most populous country. India plays a central role on climate, technology, trade and international security. This visit underlines the importance of cooperation with India, Norway and the Nordic countries in these times of global instability. We stand together in promoting international cooperation and a rules-based world order,” Støre said.
“India, Norway and the EFTA countries agreed on a free trade agreement in 2024, which entered into force last year,” he added, highlighting growing trade and economic ties.
