Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday left for Dubai and Abu Dhabi on a four-day visit to woo investors into the State. Stalin landed in Dubai on his first overseas trip since he assumed office in May last year. Consul General of India in Dubai Aman Puri received the Chief Minister.
This is his first overseas trip after becoming the Chief Minister. Stalin will visit the Dubai Expo 2022 tomorrow and inaugurate pavilions set up by various departments of the State government and also meet potential investors.
More than 190 countries, including India, are participating in the Dubai Expo which will end on March 31. The state government has earmarked Rs five crore for participation and exhibition in the Dubai expo. His visit was timed in such a way as to provide the State with visibility not only in the UAE but across the Middle East. During his visit, he is likely to meet CEOs of industries and government officers to woo the investors.
From Dubai, Stalin will visit Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE, where he will be meeting high-level officials. Sources said there could even be some signing of investment agreements. He is also likely to meet the diaspora in UAE.
The Chief Minister will return to Chennai on March 29 morning.
