"Youths of the state should embrace entrepreneurship for a self-reliant state through extensive use of science and technology for promoting trade and business of the region with the ASEAN countries," Gogoi said while inaugurating the Assam International Trade and Industrial Fair at Jorhat today.
The Chief Minister called for sustainable economic development with considerable emphasis on nature and said industrialisation should take place along with development of environment.
The Chief Minister also said participation of many foreign countries in the fair ensured exposure of the local youth, traders and entrepreneurs with their international counterparts, which would lead to generation of employment, entrepreneurship and goodwill.
U Kyaw Win, Myanmar's Minister of Electric and Industry, Sagaing Regional Government, Ambassador of Afghanistan to India Saida Mohd Abdali, Meghalaya's Minister of Health, Family Welfare and IT A L Hek and president India-Thai Chamber of Commerce, Bangkok Sushil Kumar Saraf also hoped the fair would usher in a mutually beneficial business climate in the ASEAN countries.
