  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nIndian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday pledged to work with Nordic allies to end conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and defend the rules-based global order.\n\nSpeaking at a summit in Oslo hosted by Norway, Modi said India and the Nordic nations, bound by shared commitments to democracy and multilateralism, were \"natural partners.\"\n\n### Does India support peace efforts in Ukraine and the Middle East?\n\nIndia supports a negotiated end to both conflicts. Modi told reporters that neither Ukraine nor West Asia could be resolved through military means, and that India would back every effort for early peace.\n\nHis position aligns with India's long-standing stance of dialogue over confrontation, while stopping short of assigning blame to any party.\n\n### What did Modi say at the India-Nordic summit in Oslo?\n\nModi told reporters: \"In these times of global tensions and conflict, India and Nordic countries will together continue to focus on a rules-based global order.\"\n\nHe added that whether in Ukraine or West Asia, India would continue supporting efforts toward an early end to hostilities. Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland joined Norway for the summit.\n\n### How are India and Nordic countries reacting to shifts in the global order?\n\nDenmark's outgoing Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that the rules-based world order was under growing pressure. \"Unfortunately the old world order is changing rapidly and it's not going in the right direction,\" she said.\n\nHer remarks came against the backdrop of unease in Europe over US President Donald Trump's posture toward NATO and his threats to absorb Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory.\n\n### What economic and climate agreements came out of the summit?\n\nModi announced a \"green strategic partnership\" with the Nordic countries at the Oslo summit, following a similar agreement with Norway a day earlier.\n\nBilateral trade between India and the Nordic nations has nearly quadrupled over the past decade, Modi said. Iceland's Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir called the summit a demonstration that countries \"unlike in some aspects can come together\" through dialogue and trade.\n\nModi is set to conclude his tour with a visit to Italy, where he will meet Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday.",
