Solheim, who is the former Norwegian diplomat, politician and environment minister said he is inspired by the life and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi in the global fight against climate change. He played a crucial role in 2018 as the UN Environment chief in convincing India to phase out single-use plastics by 2022 which is a major achievement in his crusade against plastic pollution.
New Delhi is run by a Singh family from Punjab and is famous for traditional Punjabi and tandoori dishes in Norway.
