Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Oslo, Norway

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Oslo, Norway, on May 15–16, 2025, to participate in the third India-Nordic Summit. This summit will bring together leaders from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland to discuss various issues, including trade, innovation, green energy, climate change, and the blue economy. Additionally, geopolitical matters, particularly the Russia-Ukraine conflict, are expected to be significant topics of discussion.​

Prior to the summit, Prime Minister Modi held a phone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to discuss bilateral relations and global issues. During this conversation, they emphasized the importance of the Green Strategic Partnership initiated in 2020, which has fostered high-level cooperation and encouraged Danish investment in India's green transformation efforts.​

India is keen to attract more investments from Nordic sovereign wealth funds. The first India-Nordic Summit, held in Sweden in 2018, saw Nordic countries supporting India's membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and its bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. Both sides advocate for a rules-based international order and seek to make global institutions more inclusive, transparent, and effective. They are also exploring opportunities for joint work on Arctic research and climate change.​Prime Minister of India

At the previous summit in Denmark, Prime Minister Modi and Nordic leaders expressed deep concern over the Ukraine crisis and the humanitarian disaster, condemning the killing of civilians. They discussed the regional and global impacts of this conflict and agreed to maintain close communication on this matter. The Nordic countries have expressed serious concerns about Russia's ongoing aggression, given their geographical proximity to Russia.​

Norway and Denmark have been founding members of NATO since 1949. While Sweden and Finland were historically neutral, they applied for NATO membership following the deterioration of the security situation in Europe, particularly after Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Finland officially became a NATO member in April 2023, and Sweden's membership is currently awaiting approval.
