Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has requested investors from all over the world to invest in the state and make it the growth engine of India’s development.
He made this request just ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit-2023 while speaking at a large event held on Tuesday at Sushma Swaraj Pravasi Bhartiya Bhavan in the national capital.
The meeting, a curtain raiser to the Summit, was attended by eminent personalities from the national and international industries, representatives of industrial associations, and representatives of several public sector companies.
Uttar Pradesh will organise the summit in Lucknow from 10 to 12 February 2023, CM said.
“Uttar Pradesh is currently at the pinnacle of a progressive transformational journey under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The vision of a ‘self-reliant’ India set by the Prime Minister is the main pillar of this rejuvenation. Uttar Pradesh has set a goal of USD 1 trillion, following the Prime Minister’s plan to grow India’s economy to USD 5 trillion,” the CM said.
The chief minister said that this to-be-held summit would prove useful in providing a unified platform to the global industrial world for cooperation in economic development.
