Opinion: What India And Norway Can Give Each Other
NDTV
Today, India celebrates its Independence Day. On behalf of the Norwegian government, we congratulate you. This is also an occasion to celebrate India's rapid development since 1947.
India was the first country Norway gave aid to. Now India has the world's fastest growing economy and the world's largest population. Norway has an open economy, and for us, the solutions lie in cooperation with global markets and production chains. The government is therefore strengthening its investment in the emerging market India.
When historians look back on our time in the future, one development will appear clearer than others - the shift in economic and geopolitical power from the West to East. We grew up in a world dominated by two superpowers. Today we live in a world with an increasing number of large players, a so-called multipolar world. A number of these new players are emerging in Asia, including India. Geopolitics and its framework are changing.
