YS Jagan, who is on a private US tour from August 15-24, attended a meeting arranged by the American Telugu Association at the Dallas Convention Centre on August 17.

He said that Andhra Pradesh and USIBC can prepare a roadmap to achieve investment and trade targets especially in the areas of agriculture and food security, healthcare, education, infrastructure and manufacturing. He mooted the idea while addressing a business roundtable discussion organised by USIBC and the Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center.

The roundtable with YS Jagan in collaboration with Georgetown University focused on opportunities to strengthen connectivity between the US and Andhra Pradesh and it laid the foundation for investment and trade opportunities, according to an official release.

YS Jagan laid his emphasis on delivery of corruption-free governance, bringing transparency in procurement and contract management and providing investor-friendly experience through one-stop handholding of investors across the implementation lifecycle.

“Andhra Pradesh is poised to catalyse investments, capital and partnerships owing to robust infrastructure for connectivity, enabling policies, integration with global value chains, shifting demographic dividend and a ready workforce,” the Chief Minister said.

He said the government was committed to strengthening the human, physical, natural and financial resources, though the launch of several programmes is based on a four-pronged approach – driving economic growth, investment in the future and human potential, creating a social safety net for its people and transforming governance.

YS Jagan is on a private visit to the US to admit his daughter to a university but is scheduled to hold few meetings with US officials.
