“When the Nordic countries unite, they become a 'middle power'”
The formation of the Green Technology and Innovation Strategic Partnership indicates a shift toward specialized economic blocs that prioritize sustainability over traditional trade. By aligning with the Nordic nations, India gains access to advanced green tech, while the Nordic bloc expands its influence in the Indo-Pacific region, diversifying its security and economic partnerships away from traditional European centers.
