Bhopal, Dec 9 (KNN) With the aim to woo US investors for next year's Global Investors Summit (GIS), the Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday held a virtual meet with the investors and pitched the state as an ideal place for investments.

“Madhya Pradesh is progressing by leaps and bounds, as it is blessed with forests, lands, electricity, and mineral resources. Besides, it has been on top in terms of farm produce,” he said.

The interactions with the investors also featured a presentation by Manish Singh, the Principal Secretary for industrial policy and investment promotion, as per a report in HT.
