Industry body Assocham on Tuesday made a plea to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include top leaders of the country’s industry chambers as part of the official delegations in his overseas tours.
Economic and business agenda invariably occupies the centre stage in the international deliberations, it said in a statement.
Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said, “Inclusion of the industry bodies in the PM’s entourage as part of the official delegations would bring in a lot of respect and status to India Inc, which is now contributing significantly to the economic growth.
“Initiatives such as Make in India would certainly need a strong endorsement from the Indian industry in the presence of global business leaders.”
Rawat added that the inclusion of business chambers in PM's visit should be only as official delegates and they should not be included as participants on the sidelines of the central agenda.
