West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee would visit UK to showcase the state as an ideal destination for investment.
Banerjee would lead a 37-member official delegation to London on July 26 for her five-day visit to the UK and would return to Kolkata on July 30. The CM’s visit would begin with a conference of British CEOs during her interaction at the UK India Business Council.
During her visit to London, Banerjee would showcase West Bengal as an ideal destination for investment, even as the tour was expected to pave way for agreements on health, education and other social sectors, state Finance and Industry minister Amit Mitra said.
But the meeting between Banerjee and British Prime Minister David Cameron in London may not be possible because of Cameron’s preoccupation with the economic crisis in Greece.
