At Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences, Bjrn Iversen, Commercial Counsellor at the Norwegian Embassy in Delhi and Country Head of Innovation Norway, said that this is the best time for new investors to come to India.
Iversen said that they were looking to increase business between India and Norway. Speaking to ANI, he said, "We are looking to increase business between India and Norway. That's based on the fact that last year in October, we entered into an agreement between India and EFTA, including Norway, on reducing tariffs, increasing trade and motivating investments, especially in India. I think this is the best time for the new investors to come to India. So, I am here and hopefully we will find some attractive opportunities."
