Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma welcomed the investors during the Advantage Assam 2.0 roadshow in Seoul on Monday.
With over 140 business leaders present, the event organized by the Indian Chamber of Commerce in South Korea showcased Assam as an investment destination for global businesses.
Speaking to X, Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "I began the day in Seoul by speaking to over 140 business leaders at the Advantage Assam roadshow, organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce in South Korea. Their enthusiasm towards being a part of #AdvantageAssam2 was phenomenal. The Korean business community was buoyed by India's position as the world's fastest-growing major economy and the unique opportunities Assam can offer to them to access this market."
The roadshow gave an opportunity to interact with potential investors and share the huge opportunities for collaboration, growth, and investment in Assam.
"Coming to Assam will be very, very special. I would like to invite all of you once again. Our Ambassador will facilitate the visit. Please do come and I will wait for a Korean delegation in the Advantage Assam conclave," Mr Sarma said inviting the attendees.
"I am of the firm belief that if Assam can house an automobile manufacturing ecosystem, we could transform the socio-economic landscape of the North East. Today during my meeting with CEOs and Leaders from South Korea's automobile ancillary firms, I have offered them the unstinted support of our State, should they choose to build a base in Assam. With easy access to India's $100-billion auto industry and that of South East Asia, Assam offers them unparalleled advantages" Mr Sarma said.
