Assam is emerging as a vital hub for investment, driven by India's 'Act East' policy, according to Sibi George, Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs. The state is attracting global interest, particularly from investors and companies looking to capitalize on its unique offerings. A recent visit by a high-level European Union delegation to Guwahati aimed to explore collaboration opportunities across Northeast India, including Assam. During this visit, Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted the state's impressive economic growth rate of 45%, which exceeds India's national growth rate of 29%. This growth is seen as a strong indicator for potential investors. Sarma expressed optimism about the state's economic trajectory, suggesting that the next five years will see even greater momentum. The discussions with the EU delegation are part of broader efforts to enhance trade relations and investment opportunities, aligning with the India-EU Comprehensive Strategic Agenda initiated earlier this year.
