On his arrival, Singh said in this foreign tour, the delegation’s objective to communicate Chhattisgarh Government’s business mission to investors of both the countries and create a new identity of Chhattisgarh, was successfully attained.
The Chief Minister said: “After learning about the potential and scope of Chhattisgarh, many major companies of both the countries showed interest in doing capital investment and setting up industries in the State.
The State Government is conducting ‘Make-in-Chhattisgarh’ campaign on the lines of ‘Make-in-India’ Mission launched under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The main motive of this business mission under the ‘Make-in-Chhattisgarh campaign’ was to inform the entrepreneurs and investors of both the nations about the huge scope of investment in industrial development of Chhattisgarh and to invite them to visit the state.
He said the implementation of ‘Make-in-India’ campaign in the country, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is transforming the image of India as one of the major economic superpowers of the world. South Korea and Japan both are economically empowered nations.
Singh said during the tour, the delegation led by him visited three world-class Asian cities — Seoul, Tokyo and Osaka and met the investors there. looking upon the historical background of both the nations, we got to learn a lot from the journey of both the nations becoming economic superpowers despite the challenges.
South Korea got Independence on August 15, 1948, whereas Japan struggled through the havoc wrecked by Second World War (1945), and despite the obstacles and challenges, both the nations evolved and established themselves as the economically empowered countries, he said.
Singh said; “Japan and South Korea are quite established in terms of their tourism industry. The kind of work they have done in various sectors of tourism is exemplary for us too. This tour to Japan and South Korea has inspired us to explore the new possibilities of tourism development in Sirpur of Chhattisgarh.”
Travelling in a bullet train is a dream for many. I travelled from Osaka to Tokyo in a bullet train. The steps being taken under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon make this epitome of advanced technology- bullet trains the glory of our country too, he said.
