Pleased to welcome a delegation of bright law students from SOA University, Odisha, to my Delhi Office & Chamber today following their request for a formal meeting. The students ; K. Rupesh Reddy, Bitihotra Routray, Sahil Kumar Samal, R. S. Saswat & Subham Patra are currently interning at a corporate law firm in Gurgaon. It is always rewarding to engage with the next generation of legal minds from our home state. Extended my best wishes to them for their internships and future endeavors.

Extremely saddened by the tragic loss of lives in the devastating fire accident at a Delhi restaurant. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families in this hour of grief. Praying for the swift recovery of all those injured.
From the world's largest democracy India to the Royal Palace of Oslo. 👑🇮🇳🇳🇴
Visiteded the magnificent Royal Palace in Oslo — an emblem of Norwegian heritage, pride, and the enduring bond between a people and their history.
Walking through spaces like these is a reminder that great nations are built not just on policy and power, but on the stories they choose to honour and the traditions they choose to protect.
As India and Norway continue to strengthen their ties — through Parliamentary dialogue, cultural exchange, and shared democratic values — moments like this carry a meaning beyond the personal.
They are a meeting of two proud civilisations, acknowledging each other with respect. 🤝
A productive engagement at the Norway–India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI) Business Plenary Meeting on the sidelines of the Indian Parliamentary Delegation Knowledge Exchange Tour. 🇮🇳🇳🇴
The discussions focused on strengthening economic cooperation, fostering innovation, and creating new opportunities for collaboration across sectors such as green energy, technology, and maritime industries. Meaningful exchanges with business leaders and stakeholders highlighted the immense potential of the India–Norway partnership.
Strong diplomatic relations are reinforced by strong economic partnerships, and engagements like these help pave the way for sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
A privilege to stand at one of Europe's most respected seats of democracy and represent India in a spirit of learning, partnership, and enduring bilateral friendship.
It was a privilege to represent India at the Stortinget, the Norwegian Parliament, as part of the Indian Parliamentary Delegation Knowledge Exchange Tour. Parliamentary diplomacy occupies a distinctive place in the architecture of international relations, carrying with it the authentic voice of democratic mandates and the lived complexities of governance that executive channels alone cannot fully convey.
It was particularly meaningful to meet with Honourable Member of Parliament Himanshu Gulati, a parliamentarian whose principled and consistent commitment to India–Norway ties has made him a genuine bridge between two democracies that share a reverence for institutional integrity, sustainable development, and a belief in multilateralism as the foundation of a stable global order. Our exchange encompassed areas of mutual strategic interest legislative best practices, green economic transitions, maritime cooperation, and the architecture of bilateral partnerships built to endure beyond electoral cycles.
India's emergence as a confident, reform-driven democracy on the world stage demands that its Parliament be an active participant in shaping global norms, not merely a recipient of international engagement. Visits of this nature are, therefore, not ceremonial they are consequential. I remain deeply grateful for the warm institutional hospitality extended by the Stortinget, and committed to advancing the legislative, economic, and strategic dialogue between our two nations a partnership that, when fully realised, holds meaningful promise for both our peoples and the broader democratic world.
Following an insightful meeting with Vice Mayor for Environment and Transport Marit Kristine Vea at Oslo City Hall, I reflected on the importance of long-term climate policy, sustainable transport systems, and the leadership required to build greener, more resilient cities. Meaningful exchanges like these reinforce the value of international collaboration in addressing shared urban and environmental challenges. 🇮🇳🇳🇴
An enriching day of dialogues and engagements focused on governance, gender equality, sustainability, and inclusive development.
As India and Norway continue to deepen cooperation across multiple sectors, such exchanges provide an important platform to learn from each other’s experiences and explore new avenues for collaboration and innovation.
