The first iteration of the Nordic India Dialogue was held on August 22 and 23, 2024 in Oslo, Norway. This Track 1.5 dialogue is a joint initiative by Ananta Centre, the Swedish Institute of International Affairs, Finnish Institute of International Affairs, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Institute of International Affairs of Iceland, and the Technical University of Denmark in partnership with the Foreign Offices in each country.
The event brought together 70 thought leaders from academia, industry, and government across the five Nordic countries and India. Discussions focused on areas of mutual concern, including geopolitical issues, green transitions, critical and emerging technologies, and Arctic policies. The objective of these closed-door deliberations, conducted under the Chatham House Rule, is to support ongoing Track I dialogues by generating informed policy recommendations, leveraging opportunities, sharing knowledge, and building trust for future Nordic-India collaborations.
