Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin will lead a delegation to Japan and Singapore on May 23 to extend the invitation to various industrialists and government officials for the Global Investors Meet (GIM) to be hosted by the State in Chennai in January 2024.

“My appreciation to the smart work of the industries department in arranging an MoU signing event with a Japanese company as a precursor to my visit,” Stalin said at an MoU signing by Mitsubishi Electric with the State government for investing ₹1,891 crore in a new AC and compressor factory near Chennai.

“Tamil Nadu is the second largest economy in the country. I have set a target of making Tamil Nadu a $1 trillion economy by 2030. The investment by Mitsubishi is a major milestone in the march towards this target, he said. These investments will boost the State’s journey towards the target and also create a huge positive impact,” he added.
