Amid raging protest and boycott of Chinese products by the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, State Finance and the district in-charge Minister Jayant Malaiya here on Saturday confirmed participation of Chinese investors in the Global investors summit.
Malaiya who was here today to review ongoing preparations for the Global Investors Summit slated for October 22 and 23 this month, was talking to media persons here informally. Replying to queries over protest against Chinese goods and participation of the Chinese investors in the summit, the minister said since the State Government has already sent investors to the Chinese investors, it would not be proper to withdraw invitation from them and as such they will take part in the summit.
Sources here informed that the government's stance over Chinese participation in the investors summit, may invite wrath from the Swadeshi Jagran Manch and other such organization who are boycotting Chinese goods across the country.
Earlier while reviewing preparations for the Global investors summit, the minister asked senior government officials to ensure that all the participating delegates at the summit get a perfect taste of Malwi and Indori cuisines, besides getting a feel that they have landed on a sacred land of Maa Ahilyabai. He said since Indori cuisines have got a distinct popularity across the Malwa, all the preparations for the summit should be based on Malwi theme.
Talking about traffic arrangement in the city during the GIS, he asked officials to make a traffic plan in such a manner that common people of the city are not subjected to any inconvenience while going from one to another places in the city. The meeting amongothers was attended by Indore Mayor Malini Gaud, divisional commisioner Sanjay Dube, IDA chairman Shankar lalwani, collector P Narhari, DIG Santosh Kumar Singh and AKVN MD Kumar Purushottam among others.
During course of his visit, Malaiyya took stock of preparations and inspected venues where the main summit and other programs would be organised.
