New Delhi: India and Norway explored sectoral cooperation across energy, maritime, pharmaceuticals and biotech, including discussions on oil and gas, offshore technologies, renewable energy, green hydrogen, low-carbon solutions, digitization of port operations, and sustainable shipping practices, the government said Friday.
Norway, a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), expressed its growing investment interest in India through Government Pension Fund Global and Norfund’s investments in renewable energy projects.
The issues were discussed during the third session of the India–Norway Dialogue on Trade and Investment on April 16.
They discussed the need to address certain trade and investment barriers to take full benefit of the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) implemented in October last year.
