The Consulate General was closed in 1973, having been in operation since 1857.
Generalkonsulatet ble lagt ned i 1973, etter å ha vært virksomt siden 1857.
Mr Brende has also had other meetings, including with India's minister of finance and the governor of the Reserve Bank of India.
I tillegg har utenriksministeren blant annet møtt Indias finansminister og sentralbanksjef.
The opening of the Consulate General today was attended by around 100 representatives of the Norwegian and Indian business communities, as well as representatives of the diplomatic community in Mumbai.

Myanmar elections neither free nor fair
Valget i Burma ikke fritt og rettferdig
Parliamentary elections were held in Myanmar today for the first time in 20 years.
Det har i dag blitt gjennomført parlamentsvalg i Burma/Myanmar for første gang på 20 år.
“The authorities have failed to heed repeated calls from the international community to release Aung San Suu Kyi and all other political detainees.
- Myndighetene har ikke fulgt det internasjonale samfunnets gjentatte oppfordringer om å løslate Aung San Suu Kyi og alle andre politiske fanger.
An inclusive process is essential in order to resolve the many conflicts in the country.
En inkluderende prosess er avgjørende for å løse de mange konfliktene som preger landet.
Measures must also be taken to improve the grave human rights situation.
Tiltak som forbedrer menneskerettighetssituasjonen er også helt nødvendige.
These problems were again clearly discernible during the run-up to the elections.
Disse behovene ble igjen tydelige i forberedelsene til valget.
Representatives from the Norwegian Embassy in Bangkok are present in Myanmar during the elections in order to follow the situation.
Norske myndigheter ved ambassaden i Bangkok er til stede i Burma/Myanmar under valget for å følge situasjonen.
Promising developments in Myanmar
Lovende utvikling i Burma
“Aung San Suu Kyi reiterated her desire to travel to Norway when this becomes possible.
- Aung San Suu Kyi gjentok sitt ønske om å komme til Norge når det blir mulig.
I had the impression that she is manoeuvring carefully through the difficult situation the country is in, and that she and the National League for Democracy face major challenges that they will have to find answers to.
Mitt inntrykk er at hun manøvrerer forsiktig i den situasjonen landet nå er inne i, men at også hun og National League for Democracy står overfor store utfordringer som må finne sitt svar.
Not least in relation to the democratic parties that took part in the election, cooperation with other parts of civil society and the ethnic minorities.
Ikke minst gjelder dette forholdet til de demokratiske partiene som deltok i valget, samarbeid med øvrige deler av det sivile samfunn og de etniske minoritetene.
It will be a tough task for the traditional democracy movement to find its place and role in the changing political landscape.”
Det er en krevende oppgave for den tradisjonelle demokratibevegelsen å finne sin plass og rolle i det endrede politiske landskapet, påpeker Eide.
In rural areas, the power of the regional commanders has been reduced and that of civilian administrative bodies increased.
Ute i landet er de regionale kommandørenes makt redusert til fordel for sivile organer.
President Thein Sein has shown in several of his speeches that the Government has taken on board some of the challenges it faces.
President Thein Sein har også gjennom flere taler vist at regjeringen har tatt inn over seg flere av utfordringene.
Both economic reform and the country’s extensive environmental problems are issues that the President has raised.
Både økonomisk reform og de omfattende miljøproblemene er spørsmål presidenten har tatt opp.
Nevertheless, a great deal remains to be done before we can conclude that developments are moving in a democratic direction.
Likevel gjenstår svært mye før vi kan konkludere med at utviklingen klart går i demokratisk retning.
There are still more than 2 000 political prisoners.
Over 2000 politiske fanger er fremdeles fengslet.
Their release would be the first sign that the new Government and the President are serious.
Løslatelse av dem vil være et første tegn på at den nye regjeringen og presidenten mener alvor.
I took this up in my talks with the Foreign Minister and the leader of the governing party,” said Mr Barth Eide.
Dette tok jeg opp i mine samtaler med utenriksministeren og lederen for regjeringspartiet, sier Barth Eide.
The Norwegian visit coincided with a visit by the Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Myanmar, Vijay Nambiar.
Det norske besøket falt sammen med besøk av FNs generalsekretærs spesialrådgiver for Myanmar, Vijay Nambiar.
Mr Barth Eide raised the question of the UN’s role in Myanmar both with Mr Nambiar and with representatives of UN organisations in the country.
Både i møte med Nambiar og representanter for FN-organisasjonene i landet tok Eide opp FNs rolle i landet.
In addition to meetings with the authorities, Aung San Suu Kyi and the UN, Mr Barth Eide also met representatives of the 11 democratic parties that took part in the election and representatives of civil society.
I tillegg til møter med myndighetene, Aung San Suu Kyi og FN, ble det gjennomført møter med elleve demokratiske partier som deltok i valget og med representanter for sivilt samfunn.
During the visit, it was announced that Norway has withdrawn its advice to Norwegian tourists to refrain from visiting Myanmar.
Under besøket ble det offentliggjort at Norge opphever oppfordringen til norske turister om å ikke besøke Burma.
“I found that the response to this decision was positive in all the talks I had.
– Jeg opplevde positiv respons på denne beslutningen under alle mine samtaler.
Clearly it is possible to establish sound and sustainable tourist operations in Myanmar.
Det er helt klart mulig å gjennomføre ansvarlig og bærekraftig turisme i Burma.
Greater contact with the rest of the world will have a positive effect on a country that has traditionally been very closed,” commented Mr Eide.
Økt kontakt med omverdenen vil bare virke positivt i et land som tradisjonelt har vært svært lukket, sier Barth Eide.

'This is a historic day for Myanmar.
- Dette er en historisk dag for Myanmar.
It is very positive that the country has elected its first civilian president for several decades,' said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Det er positivt at landet har valgt sin første sivile president på mange tiår, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
Aung San Suu Kyi and her party the National League for Democracy (NLD) won an overwhelming victory in the election in November last year, but a provision in the Constitution prevents her from becoming president.
Aung San Suu Kyi og partiet NLD vant en overveldende seier under valget i november i fjor, men grunnloven hindrer henne i å bli president.
'Norway has a long-term engagement in Myanmar and will continue to support the reform process.
- Norge har et langsiktig engasjement i Myanmar og vil opprettholde støtten til reformprosessene.
We have confirmed that we are prepared to support the new Government's priorities,' said Mr Brende.
Vi har bekreftet vår vilje til å støtte opp om den nye regjeringens prioriteringer, sier Brende.

Historic cancellation of Myanmar’s debt to Norway
Historisk gjeldsslette av Myanmars gjeld til Norge
Norway has decided to cancel the whole of Myanmar’s debt to Norway.
Norge sletter hele gjelden Myanmar har til Norge.
The total amount is NOK 3.2 billion.
Gjelden var på til sammen 3,2 milliarder kroner.
Minister of International Development Heikki Eidsvoll Holmås commented, “This is historic, not only for Myanmar, but also for Norway.
– Dette er historisk, ikke bare for Myanmar, men også for Norge.
The final hours of the meeting were dramatic as it became clear that a breakthrough in the negotiations was on the horizon.
De siste timene ble dramatiske da det ble klart forhandlingene gikk mot sammenbrudd.
“Norway played a key role.
– Norge var avgjørende.
Our decision to cancel all the debt to Norway was significant for the negotiations.
Vårt bidrag med fullstendig gjeldsslette reddet forhandlingene.
This was an important moment for the people of Myanmar,” said Mr Holmås.
Det var et viktig øyeblikk for Myanmars befolkning, sier Holmås.
In cancelling all Myanmar’s debt, Norway went further than the other members of the Paris Club.
Norge går mye lengre enn de andre medlemmene i Parisklubben ved å slette all gjeld.
“This is important for people in Myanmar.
– Dette er viktig for folk i Myanmar.
We have decided to take this step at this time in order to support the positive development in the country.
Vi gjør dette akkurat nå for å støtte opp om den positive utviklingen i landet.
Norway was Myanmar’s fourth largest creditor.
Norge var fjerde største utlåner til Myanmar før slettingen.
The whole debt to Norway dates back to the Norwegian ship export campaign.
Hele gjelden kommer fra den norske skipseksportkampanjen.
Between 1976 and 1980, Norway exported 156 vessels, as well as shipping equipment, to 21 countries through government-guaranteed export credits.
Mellom 1976 og 1980 eksporterte Norge 156 fartøyer samt skipsutstyr til 21 land gjennom statsgaranterte eksportkreditter.
The cancellation of debt to Norway through this campaign started in 2007.
Slettingen av gjelden fra denne kampanjen begynte allerede i 2007.
The international agreement entails cancellation of 50 % of Myanmar’s total debt and restructuring of the remaining amount.
Den internasjonale avtalen innebærer 50 prosent gjeldsslette og en restrukturering av den siste halvparten.
Norway’s decision is conditional on the approval of the Storting (Norwegian parliament).
Regjeringen tar forbehold om Stortingets samtykke.
