“The two leaders discussed working together in the renewable sector, especially solar power, rare earth processing, carbon capture and storage,” the finance ministry said in a post on X.

Both leaders agreed to work towards leveraging the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), especially in the domains of blue economy, green economy, as well as investment through sovereign wealth and pension funds.

Stoltenberg also informed Sitharaman that Norway is looking forward to the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled for later this year and expressed hope that it would further expand bilateral cooperation.
