Andhra Pradesh has been elevated from being a 'Forum Member Associate' at the World Economic Forum to the position of 'Forum Platform Partner'.
As Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy gears up to attend the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos later this month, the state government on Thursday said his meetings there would focus on various investment opportunities and international partnerships.
Ahead of his visit to the Swiss ski resort town of Davos for the global summit from May 22-26, the state government said in a statement it is planning to take the growth story of Andhra Pradesh to this global forum, highlighting the efforts that are in place to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, adopt sustainable manufacturing and transition to a decarbonised economy.
Leading a high-level delegation from the state, the chief minister will have at least 13 bilateral meets across the thrust sectors and three dedicated state sessions to focus on industries, infrastructure, health, education and skilling.
The 52nd Annual Meeting of the WEF, which was initially slated for January 17-22 this year but got postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will bring together thousands of business leaders, international political leaders, economists, celebrities, and journalists to discuss global, regional, and industry challenges.
