Haryana Chief Minister in Sweden to court investment, tech partnerships

Stockholm/Panchkula, Oct 14 (UNI) A high-level delegation from India's Haryana state led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini arrived in Sweden seeking to lure foreign investment and forge industrial partnerships in sectors ranging from defence to clean energy.
Indian Ambassador to Sweden Anurag Bhushan received Saini as the delegation kicked off a four-day visit running through Oct. 17, the Haryana government said in a statement.
Saini is scheduled to address the India-Sweden Innovation Day and hold top-tier meetings with Swedish government officials, global industry executives and potential investors, officials said.
The talks will centre on investment opportunities in energy, home furnishing, real estate, defence and automobiles, according to the statement.
Haryana, an industrial hub bordering New Delhi, is pitching itself as a manufacturing and technology destination to Swedish firms known for engineering and sustainable infrastructure.
Beyond deal-making, the delegation aims to advance "sister city" partnerships that would open channels for technical knowledge exchange and sustainable urban development between Indian and Swedish municipalities.
The visit includes government-level dialogues, industrial meetings and business roundtables focused on technology and sustainability.
For Saini, who leads one of India's key agrarian and industrial states, securing Swedish capital and expertise would mark a significant step in his push to boost jobs and economic growth at home.
