Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday embarked on a two-day visit to Singapore to promote the upcoming investment summit in the state, Advantage Assam, which is scheduled to take place on February 25 and 26.

Sarma is set to meet top industry players in Singapore and showcase Assam’s potential to become a hub for investments.

“I will be in Singapore for the next two days to promote Advantage Assam, highlighting the state’s growing potential in sectors such as semiconductors, deep technology, infrastructure, and manufacturing. We will host a roadshow and hold one-on-one meetings with industry leaders to explore strategic collaborations and investment opportunities. A key focus will be on positioning Assam as an emerging hub for advanced industries and innovation,” the Assam CM posted on X on Sunday.

The chief minister previously visited South Korea and Japan, where he held a series of meetings with investors. He has invited them to attend the Advantage Assam summit.

Sarma also said that this summit will bring more investments to the state, leading to more government jobs and enhanced entrepreneurship support for the people of Assam.

According to the chief minister, the event will also highlight the traditional Jhumur dance of the tea tribe clans.

“This summit is a platform to showcase Assam’s rich traditions to a global audience in addition to attracting investors,” Sarma said.

A spectacular Jhumur dance performance featuring more than 7,500 dancers and artists will be part of the event. It is expected to be an extraordinary show, the CM added.

Preparations for this cultural event are already underway. “Perfect execution will be ensured through master training workshops, constituency-level sessions, district-level performances, and final rehearsals in Guwahati,” the chief minister said.
