Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi continued his investment promotion drive on the third day of his visit to the UAE, holding meetings with potential investors and participating in business forums in Dubai. The roadshows and investor outreach programmes are designed to showcase Odisha's industrial potential and ease of doing business to Gulf-based enterprises.
The visit represents a significant push by the Odisha government to strengthen economic ties with the UAE and tap into the region's deep-pocketed investment community. Officials accompanying the chief minister have been highlighting the state's competitive advantages, including its mineral wealth, port infrastructure, and skilled workforce.
Odisha has increasingly targeted overseas investors in recent years, particularly from West Asia, to supplement domestic capital flows and drive industrial growth. The chief minister's engagement with UAE-based investors and government officials is expected to result in discussions on potential joint ventures and sector-specific collaborations.
The five-day tour is part of a broader government initiative to expand Odisha's footprint in global investment circles. Similar visits to major economic centres have yielded commitments from multinational corporations and regional players interested in establishing operations or expanding existing presence in the state.
