Trade, energy, discussions on global conflicts to top agenda for Modi’s Nordic visit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Norway on May 18, 2026, to discuss trade and energy supplies. The visit will focus on the India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland, which came into force in October 2025. Discussions will also include investment opportunities from Norwegian pension funds, particularly the Government Pension Fund, as well as collaborations in energy, digital infrastructure, and space ties. The visit coincides with a significant geopolitical shift following the Russia-Ukraine war and other international conflicts. Both sides are seeking to strengthen their partnerships on issues such as climate change and green sustainability.
