PM Modi Norway Visit Highlights: Trade, defence and maritime security in focus during PM Modi’s Italy visit
Prime Minister Narendra Modi received Sweden's 2nd highest honour. His visit has generated strong enthusiasm among Swedish political leaders, businesses and the Indian diaspora, especially in Gothenburg, which Indian Ambassador Anurag Bhushan described as the “heart of Swedish industry and innovation”. Modi is expected to hold bilateral talks with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and meet top European and Swedish CEOs to strengthen trade, investment and technology cooperation. Key discussion areas include artificial intelligence, green transition, resilient supply chains and advanced manufacturing. Gothenburg has emerged as the centrepiece of the visit because of its concentration of universities, research institutions and industrial companies, alongside a growing Indian professional and student community. Modi will also address the European Round Table for Industry with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, signalling India’s expanding economic engagement with Europe. Swedish industry leaders, including Volvo Group India chief Kamal Bali, have described India as a major destination for talent, innovation and long-term industrial growth.
