Rajasthan has immense possibilities of investment in mining, minerals, petromax, tourism, agriculture, education and medicine. Referring to Germany, he said that many industries of that country are already established in Rajasthan. We have an old relationship with the UK as well. Both these countries are very strong. They are also economically prosperous. Before coming to the UK, when the delegation went to Germany, we expected that more investors would come to us from there. We have also met industrialists in the UK continuously.
