Malek Raees Ahmed, who was leading a three-member trade
delegation from Gujarat, was on a ten-day visit to the Kingdom to invite local
businessmen to the summit. The other members of the team included Sanjib
Krishna Gosh, executive director of Connect Power.
During their visit to the Kingdom, the delegates met with
Fahd Al-Sultan, secretary-general of the Saudi Council of Chambers of Commerce
and Industry (SCCCI), Husein A. Al-Athel, secretary-general of Riyadh Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, Adnan Mandourah, secretary-general of Jeddah Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, and other leading businessmen in Riyadh,
Jeddah and Dammam. The team also had discussions with Indian Ambassador Talmiz Ahmad
during its stay in the Kingdom. During his visit Ahmed felt that the responses
from the business community and representatives of the institutions were very
favorable. “The ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ is a mega exhibition event held biennially.
It is one of South Asia’s premier investment event organized by the local state
government of Gujarat in India to attract global investors to the state,” Ghosh
told Arab News on Friday.
The exhibition will also present corporate houses across
various sectors, institutions and industrial giants to showcase their products
in an eight-day exhibition and thus pave the way to enter into business
discussions with potential global investors and the participants in general.
