Adityanath said he held meetings at the G2G (Government-to-Government) level, as well as several G2B (Government-to-Business) and B2B (Business-to-Business) meetings.
"Two major roadshows were held, one in Singapore, which attracted a large number of investors, chairpersons and CEOs of financial institutions. We held a roadshow in Tokyo yesterday and another in Yamanashi today, both of which saw significant investor participation," he said, reported ANI.

The Chief Minister said that Uttar Pradesh, with a population of approximately 250 million, is India's largest state and is blessed with abundant natural resources. The country's most fertile land, vast water resources, extensive human capital, and rich spiritual and cultural heritage give Uttar Pradesh its distinct identity.
