A high-level 'Team Europe' delegation from the European Union (EU) will visit Guwahati, Assam, on June 8-9 to explore collaboration opportunities with India's North-Eastern States, including Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. This visit aligns with the Comprehensive Strategic Agenda established during the EU-India Summit in January. The delegation will focus on sectors such as renewable energy, healthcare, semiconductors, and agri-food processing. Led by Herve Delphin, the EU Ambassador to India and Bhutan, the delegation will engage with Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, to discuss trade and investment prospects. A significant part of the visit includes the 'Blue Valleys' workshop on June 9, aimed at fostering partnerships in sustainable industries. Additionally, Assam will launch its first Blue Valley Cluster, which will serve as an industrial hub for fragrances, AYUSH, and food processing, promoting innovation and sustainable manufacturing. This initiative is part of the broader Blue Valleys project, which seeks to integrate sector-specific value chains and ensure economic growth while maintaining environmental sustainability.
