Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met leaders from Norway, Iceland, Finland and Denmark at the Nordic-India Summit in Oslo on May 19, 2026.
The talks focused on green technology, innovation, 6G and trade, including wider cooperation linked to India’s planned agreements with the European Union and EFTA.

- Finland was the first Nordic country to join NATO, in 2023.
- The Nordic countries are often ranked among the world’s strongest performers on clean energy and innovation.
