Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who reached Düsseldorf in Germany, is set to lead a high-powered investment conclave at the German city, engaging with global investors and industrial leaders.
An official release issued from Düsseldorf by the Tamil Nadu government said several key investment announcements and MoUs were expected. “He will also hold one-on-one meetings with major investors looking to invest as well as expand operations in Tamil Nadu.”
On Sunday (August 31), the Chief Minister would preside over a diaspora event, which will be attended by hundreds of people and include cultural programmes curated by Tamil associations across Europe. He will honour several Tamil Sangams from various parts of Europe for their contributions to preserving Tamil identity and promoting Tamil Nadu abroad.
Mr. Stalin arrived in Düsseldorf on August 30 to begin a high-level eight-day visit to Germany and the United Kingdom, aimed at strengthening investment partnerships and engaging with the global Tamil diaspora.
