Guwahati, Jan 12: Assam industry minister, Chandra Mohan Patwary on Thursday revealed that great potential investment could be seen in the coming days from the likes of industrialists, Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani who has shown keenness in investing in Assam.

Patwary is in Gujarat to participate in the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit. The minister in a statement stated that he interacted with Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani on the inaugural day of the Global Summit.

Patwary said, "Assam, as the biggest economy in the North-East Region, has the potential of being the pivot of India's Act East policy. There is a large South-East Asian, Bangladesh and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) market waiting to be accessed." The minister said while addressing the business delegates on the 'Assam State Seminar' at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit as reported by Economic Times.

Patwary further added, "It is time we look at Assam as a perfect business gateway and as the centre of the Indo-ASEAN partnership and interface. Central Government has paid major thrust in North East and Assam has been taking a lead in leveraging the Act East Policy. A separate department of Act East would be shortly created in the state."
