Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]I saw the meeting taking place and this is Butterl.

[00:00:06]Various issues of mutual interest were discussed between the two leaders.

[00:00:09]So these butters become very important especially the way we are talking about Finland and the Indian Prime Minister has met the Prime Minister of Finland. So if we talk about Finland, then it is a leading country in innovation, that is, in terms of innovation, we are continuously discussing with our special guests and we also talked about Finland and we will see how Finland will prove to be a facilitator for India in various areas like climate change, green energy, green transition of energy.

[00:00:48]Also, if we talk about it, Finland has done a lot of work on climate change and how Finland is setting an ambitious target of becoming carbon neutral by 2035 and India is also trying its best to reach zero carbon by 2070. So the goals of both the countries, especially regarding climate, are completely similar and how to expand their energy resources, that is, how to expand their energy sources, is a very common aspect on which both the countries are working. Also, if we talk about the number of startups in Finland, it is very high and India is the third largest startup ecosystem. Where we are seeing entrepreneurs in different sectors.

[00:01:37]Now how Finland will prove to be helpful in these entrepreneurships and in this startup ecosystem when we talk about efficiency and high quality of technology. Let us discuss this battle and when the Nordic conference is going to be held, it will come out clearly in that conference. We know that all the Nordic countries are very much focused on pollution and how to deal with the problem of climate change when we talk about the coming generations, that is why in COP 28 and COP 31, all the Nordic countries stood shoulder to shoulder with India.

[00:02:14]Mission Life: I have said earlier also that the Prime Minister always says that the technology which you develop, what can that technology give us for common needs, for some good work or for the environment? That's why technocrats always say, what can you do to strengthen the environment? Now a bilateral meeting has taken place with the Prime Minister of Finland, Petteri. It is expected that many such common interests and common goals would have been discussed here.

[00:02:54]Finland itself wants to achieve this ambitious target by 2035 with a zero carbon policy.

[00:03:01]India also has a similar goal. So when your goals are similar, somewhere or the other your positive chemistry is visible here. And the goals of all the countries of Nodak, to some extent, match those of India. And as we saw, the Prime Minister of Sweden had also said that Sweden stands with India in achieving its target of 2047.

[00:03:27]That's why it's a green strategic partnership. His alliance was made.

[00:03:31]We also heard the presidency of the European Union say that this is the ushering of a new era.

[00:03:38]What is this new era? This new era tells how India is leading many countries in the Global South.

[00:03:44]Now when you are leading, the technology that you need is available with these countries and the skills that we can provide to these countries are playing a big market here in India and many different countries in India when we are talking about smart payment gateways.

[00:04:08]Norway seemed very impressed with this system, how if it adopts these digital payment interfaces, then you will see that it will prove to be a big game changer because this payment infrastructure proves to be very helpful in strengthening the financial economy because you know that for doing any business, ease and simplification in business transactions is very important, otherwise it becomes difficult to do business and in such a situation, this bilateral meeting will be organised in Oslo, the Nadic Summit will start shortly. Apart from that, these two-party meetings are taking place. First of all the Prime Minister had a butteral with the Prime Minister of Iceland and now this butteral is happening with the Prime Minister of Finland.

[00:04:51]Patrick and
