The ‘Advantage Assam 2.0—the Global Infrastructure and Investors’ Summit’ is scheduled from February 24-25, with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman invited for the closing session.
Several sessions related to investment and infrastructure would be held during the course of the Summit. Several union ministers will also be attending the summit.
