Norway , Oslo : 22 February 2015 -
Punjab BJP Leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal today visit in Parliament House with Hadia Tajik Member of Parliament for the Labour Party representing Oslo in Norway. Hadia Tajik is also a Pakistani-Norwegian jurist, journalist and politician, Advocate Grewal who is on a European Tour of Denmark, Italy and Norway landed here in Norway. Grewal felt so honoured to visit Norway as India shares special ties with this country. Historically, Norway being the very first countries to recognize India’s independence, Our diplomatic relations date back to 1952 and Norway’s very first international development cooperation in India was within fisheries in Kerala in the 50’s. Grewal said he knew Norway is the cleanest country in the world and he wants to know how Norway keeps itself clean, eco friendly and maintains its fast pace of development at the same time.While addressing the gathering Grewal told that Indian Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi has launched a state drive called "Swach Bharat Abhiyan" which means Clean india drive. This is a one of a kind move initiated by the prime minister on a large scale covering almost all parts of the country. India should definitely learn from Norway . Grewal said he initially wondered where did the whole garbage and waste go? On meeting with locals and reserching, Grewal found out that Norway produce clean energy from garbage. For a country blessed with bountiful oil supplies, it may appear incongruous. Grewal said he heard that Norway is importing as much rubbish as it can get its hands on, in an effort to generate more energy by burning waste in vast incinerators. He said Norway is unique when it comes to producing clean energy at low cost which is one thing India lags behind. Being the world's sixth largest hydropower producer, norway is one of very few industrialized nations meeting the domestic electricity demand almost exclusively through this clean and renewable source. Another major benefit Grewal points out is supplying electricity consumption with domestic and clean renewable energy is that this allows to export almost all of norways oil and gas production. Thus, it increase the state’s revenues and secure energy independence. These price signals are important also for incentivizing energy efficiency and stimulate other climate-friendly solutions. Grewal added New indian goverment chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi excepts Norway to lead india in producing clean energy. Norwegian goverment and private companies should use India as a market for there clean energy producing infrastructure and India have abundance of renewable and enerjy producing garbage at its disposal which can be used for production of clean energy. The overall Indo-Norwegian cooperation covers wide areas such as energy and climate change, energy, environment and biodiversity, clean technologies, geohazards, health, gender, local governance, culture, and business. Our partnership is founded on mutual interests and respect. It is in the self-interest of both countries that we work together to solve the global challenges in inter-related areas such as energy, environment and climate change. Grewal welcomes the idea of Norwegian goverment who chose India as the host of the “Norway Asia Business Summit 2015”, which will be held on 16,17,18 April 2015 in New Delhi, Grewal said this illustrates the important role India has as a business partner in the region. Grewal said the indian goverment will take the already existing good ties to another level. Grewal also visit Parliament House Oslo Norway , The Storting building (Norwegian: Stortingsbygningen) is the seat of the Storting, the parliament of Norway, located in central Oslo. It is located at Karl Johans gate 22 and was taken into use on 5 March 1866, and was designed by the Swedish architect Emil Victor Langlet.
