Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav reached the Govindpura Industrial Area in Bhopal to inaugurate Fed Expo-2025. During the event, he also hummed the famous film song “Mera Joota Hai Japani, Ye Patloon Englistani” in front of industrialists from Taiwan, Russia and Oman. Dr Yadav said that Taiwan’s fearlessness, Oman’s commitment and Russia’s friendship have been strong since the time of princes. He said Russia has shown true friendship many times, and this is a matter of pride for the state. He also spoke about cooperation in business. Earlier, he opened the expo at the GIA Exhibition Centre and welcomed foreign investors and other industrialists. He said the expo will help strengthen Madhya Pradesh’s relations with Russia, Oman and Taiwan once again. Land was not given to industrialists rather, they were invited to set up industries.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that we did not distribute 5,000 plots of land, but rather invited industrialists to set up industries. This is the year of industry. Therefore, investments worth 8 lakh crore rupees have been made through the Global Investors Summit, Industrial Conclave, and other mediums. Out of these, investments worth 6 lakh crore rupees have been implemented on the ground. Invitations have been extended for 2 lakh crore. Foreign investors are also being invited. This will bring prosperity to the state. In the coming time, a grand event will be organized with all industrial federations. CM Dr. Yadav also addressed several topics, including the Textiles Park.
