Foreign Minister of Norway Anniken Huitfeldt will visit India from April 25-27 during which she will take part in the Raisina Dialogue and hold talks with the Indian leadership to strengthen bilateral ties.
Norway cooperates with India on issues concerning the oceans, clean energy, climate and environment, among others, the Norway Embassy said here on Wednesday while giving details of the minister’s schedule.
Both countries have increasing and extensive business collaboration. Also, they are together in the UN Security Council, it noted.
“Norway and India share common ambitions on climate and environment. To fulfil India's goals in this area, large-scale development of renewable energy and hydrogen production is required, for which the country needs foreign investment and international technology. This opens up great opportunities for Norwegian business and industry, and therefore a number of Norwegian companies will participate during the visit,” Huitfeldt was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the Embassy.
In addition to participating in the Raisina Dialogue -- India's annual geopolitical conference -- she will also hold political talks, the statement noted.
Norway aims to increase cooperation with India in contributing towards a strengthened multilateral cooperation, international trade system and legal order, it said.
