India is culturally diverse and I look forward to immersing myself in its various facets. Thank you for a warm welcome, India”.

According to a statement provided by the Norwegian embassy, Norway and India share a strong and growing bilateral relationship in areas including the ocean, energy, and environment, and the bilateral trade between both countries has doubled in recent years.
