LUCKNOW, Feb. 6 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath is set to give a major push to his government's goal of making Uttar Pradesh a USD 1-trillion economy by 2027-2030 during his proposed foreign tour to Japan and Singapore later this month, aimed at positioning the state as a preferred investment destination. With the Ground-Breaking Ceremony (GBC) proposed in March-April this year and the investors' summit scheduled later in the year, the foreign tour assumes importance for the chief minister. This will be his fifth overseas visit, following earlier tours to Myanmar, Mauritius, Nepal and Russia, according to officials. A roadshow is also proposed at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, where the chief minister will deliver introductory remarks in Japanese to connect with the local audience. During his Japan visit, Yogi is expected to travel to Tokyo, Yamanashi, Osaka and Kyoto. He is also proposed to meet the governors of Tokyo and Yamanashi, besides interacting with the Indian diaspora in Japan. According to the state government, the dates for the visit are being finalised in close coordination with the Union ministry of external affairs (MEA), the Embassy of India in Tokyo and the High Commission of India in Singapore. In Tokyo, a roundtable conference on the 'Japan-Uttar Pradesh Partnership for Manufacturing, Mobility and Technology' is also proposed. The conference is expected to see participation from top Japanese corporations across sectors, including companies already operating in India and Uttar Pradesh. The Invest UP team will explore new investment opportunities in the state's industrial parks and corridors. During the Singapore visit, Invest UP will position Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Noida and Ghaziabad as pilot destinations for collaboration with Singapore. These interactions are proposed to take place either at the Shangri-La or the Indian High Commission premises. The delegation will also study flagship urban and logistics projects relevant for replication in Uttar Pradesh, officials said....
