Kim Davy alias Niels Holck was the key conspirator of the 1995 arms drop in Purulia district of West Bengal. In 2011, his govt had taken the decision to extradite him but that was rejected by courts in Denmark. That had hit Denmark-India ties.&nbsp;

The development comes at a time when India is increasing its engagements with the Nordics. On Tuesday India and the Nordic countries held the first India - Nordic summit, a new format of dialogue.&nbsp;

The Nordics are world leaders in innovative technology, renewable energy and being a cashless society.&nbsp;

Denmark can help India in wind energy, dairy, agriculture. On the other hand, India can provide service. Most of the Indians in Nordics are in IT sector and highly skilled job sector.

Indian PM's visit may be only for one day but it is definitely going to make a long-term Impact.&nbsp;
