According to reports, Mr. Chamling has accepted the invitation.
CII Northeast States Chapter chairman Dipankar Chatterjee and deputy director-general Subroto Neogy have said that products from NE states would be exhibited for the first time in the US. The five-day festival will include interaction with American investors.
To encourage industry in the NE states, the Centre has already waived tax for ten years for the investors who will invest in the region.
CII is organizing an industrial trade fair here in Gangtok in early December. It is going to set up a full-fledged regional office here as well.
Mr. Chamling is reported to have asked CII to promote Sikkim tourism and encourage investment in the State. He also urged CII to pressurize the Central Government to expand the Sino-Indian trade list from the Nathula border with the inclusion of Sikkim products, and expedite bilateral agreement between the two countries to start tourism through the border, thereby reducing the travel time to the Potala Palace at Lhasa and Kailash Mansarovar Lake.
Mr. Chamling has also assured to come to Kolkata soon to interact with investors, it is learned.
