The roadshow provided a platform for engaging with potential investors and offering insights into the vast opportunities for collaboration, growth, and investment that Assam has to offer.

"Coming to Assam will be very, very special. I would like to invite all of you once again. Our Ambassador will facilitate the visit. Please do come and I will wait for a Korean delegation in the Advantage Assam conclave," Mr Sarma said, extending a warm invitation to the attendees.

"I am of the firm belief that if Assam can house an automobile manufacturing ecosystem, we could transform the socio-economic landscape of the North East. Today during my meeting with CEOs and Leaders from South Korea's automobile ancillary firms, I have offered them the unstinted support of our State, should they choose to build a base in Assam. With easy access to India's $100-billion auto industry and that of South East Asia, Assam offers them unparalleled advantages" Mr Sarma said.
