Kolkata, Sep 12: Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, departed for Madrid, Spain on Tuesday to take part in a three-day business summit.
CM Mamata Banerjee stated before she boarded the plane, “We are going to Spain after 5 years. Spain was a partner during the Kolkata Book Fair. Spain has a prosperous manufacturing industry. We are going at their invitation. Let us see what progress can be made.”
The Bengal Business Summit will take place from November 21 to 23.
“Spain officials have visited Bengal many times but we have not reciprocated in the same way. So I am leaving for Spain. In Dubai also we have a business summit,” she further added.
The Chief Minister anticipated the business summit in Spain will produce fruitful results.
Dhupguri Town in the Jalpaiguri District will receive the status of a subdivision by the end of 2023, CM Banerjee earlier declared on Monday.
TMC won the assembly byelection for the Dhupguri seat last week. In a close race, Nirmal Chandra Roy of the Trinamool Congress defeated Tapasi Roy of the Bharatiya Janata Party by 4309 votes. Nirmal Chandra Roy received 97,613 votes, compared to 93,304 for the BJP candidate. The CPI-M ran a candidate for the position as well, who came in a distant third.
