Oslo, May 19: Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the India-Norway Business and Research Summit in Oslo on Monday. The event featured over 50 CEOs and more than 250 participants from the business and research communities of Norway and India. Following the summit, several CEOs expressed their appreciation for PM Modi’s efforts to simplify business operations in India during conversations with news agencies.
Christian Sorensen, CEO of BW LPG, stated, “Our company has been investing in India for the past seven to eight years. We can see how the Prime Minister’s dedication and commitment to making business easier has significantly contributed to the overall business environment. This has been a crucial part of our success story in India.”
Ramesh Mutha, Chairman and Managing Director of Mohan Mutha Exports Private Limited, remarked, “The business meeting was excellent. Norway has been a long-standing partner of India, and this globalization, along with the Prime Minister’s visit to Norway, has opened doors to strengthen our collaboration, especially in energy, shipping, and fuel. The country is beautiful, and the people are very humble. We are also exploring joint ventures in Norway.”
Morten Fon, CEO of Jotun, noted, “Since we entered India, there have been many changes over the years. One example is how trade between states has been made easier. Prime Minister Modi spoke about shipbuilding in India today, which is very close to my heart.”
Alf-Christian Dybdahl, CEO of Laird Medical, commented, “The summit was great. It was interesting to hear different speakers and perspectives. India is an exciting market for all of us, and I believe there is much more potential. Today, we got a glimpse of some of those areas, which is truly fascinating.”

He has been on the road for the past six days, and I believe this effort by the Prime Minister and his team is commendable.”
Anders Opedal, CEO of Equinor, emphasized, “Energy security is at the top of our agenda. We are supporting India with crude oil and cooking gas through LPG, and we now have a long-term contract for LNG imports into India.”
Anders Anger, CEO of HIAHODWTO, stated, “India and Norway are very different countries, but they share similar values regarding how international business should be conducted. Shipbuilding presents a significant opportunity for India. We also heard discussions about energy, IT, and other sectors.”
