CM Naidu Hopes CII Partnership Summit Would Enhance AP's Brand Image
Unlike Amaravati, Naidu asserted, Hyderabad was endowed with a lot of government land when the capital was being built and noted that the Cyberabad area did not develop during the Nizam's reign
Amaravati: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said the partnership summit to be organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry in Visakhapatnam this week should enhance AP’s brand image and attract huge investments to the state.
The CM chaired a review meeting with senior officials at the Secretariat on Monday on the preparedness for the CII summit. He said, “I am inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the summit.”
Officials, he said, must invite global leaders including leading CEOs of various firms, top industrialists and policy makers. The summit must focus on global technology transformation as also on improving global trust and global trade.
AP is hosting the CII partnership summit for the fourth time - after 2016, 2017 and 2018 in Visakhapatnam. It would focus attention on technology and trust, and with a theme of ‘trade navigating the geo-economic order’ with 13 sessions. The presence of 29 commerce ministers, 80 foreign CEOs, delegates from 40 countries and 13 Union ministers are expected for the event.
The CM said the summit must serve as a platform for sharing ideas, strategising and action. It should inspire Indian entrepreneurs, he said, and wished that the event would help establish AP as a long-term destination for global investment.
Ministers Nara Lokesh and P. Narayana, Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand and CII director general Chandrajit Banerjee were present.
