Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and General Education Minister V. Sivankutty will leave for a European tour late Saturday.
Mr. Vijayan will share a stage with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin at the Communist Party of India (CPI) State conference at Thiruvananthapuram at 4 p.m. before leaving for New Delhi to catch the connecting flight to Europe.
The government said Mr. Vijayan and Mr. Sivankutty were travelling to Finland, Norway and Britain at the invitation of the respective governments. Chief Secretary V. P. Joy and Principal Secretary, General Education, A. P. M. Muhammad Haneesh, are also part of the CM's delegation.

The ministerial delegation will also attempt to woo Finnish investment in Kerala's IT and industrial sectors. It will try to market Kerala tourism, including Ayurveda, in Finland.
Meanwhile, Kerala hopes to enlist Norway's expertise and investment in the maritime sector. Industries Minister P. Rajeev and Fisheries Minister V. Abdurahman will join Mr. Vijayan in Norway. The delegation will also seek Norway's counsel in creating climate change-resistant infrastructure, focusing on mitigating landslip risk during monsoon.
From Norway, the delegation will fly to Wales in the United Kingdom. Health Minister Veena George will join the team in the UK. The Ministers will attend the Loka Kerala Sabha regional conference, an expatriate Keralites platform in London. As many as 150 delegates will participate in the meeting.
