Bhopal, October 7

The Madhya Pradesh government exchanged an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Spain's Fira Barcelona International to establish an international-standard convention centre in the state.

The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav at the Kushabhau Thakre International Convention Centre in Bhopal on Tuesday.

According to an official release, the international standard convention centre will serve as a platform to host global events and investment conferences in the state. The discussions with the institution's officials in this regard took place during CM Yadav's visit to Spain in July this year, during which he invited investors to Madhya Pradesh.

Spain's Ambassador Juan Antonio March Pujol, Fira Barcelona International CEO Richard Zapatero, and the institution's India representative Mukesh Arora were present on the occasion and Ambassador Pujol also held detailed discussions with CM Yadav.

Madhya Pradesh aims to further strengthen its identity as a global hub. Especially in the fields of smart urban solutions, technology, and business exhibitions, the state will develop in accordance with leading international standards and opportunities.

This MoU is expected to open new horizons for industrial and investment activities and enhance Madhya Pradesh's recognition at the international level. The state will gain a reputation as a host for global dialogues, conventions, and exhibitions. Through this centre, top industrialists, investors, and companies from around the world will come to Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh will become part of the global network and a focal point for international partnerships and opportunities.

Chief Minister Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh's central geographical location is significant for the future. It proves highly advantageous not only for promoting industry and trade but also from an overall economic perspective. The state is developing essential infrastructure to position itself as an alternative to the Delhi region in the coming years.

He added that after the metropolitan areas of Indore and Bhopal, preparations are underway for the development of metropolitan areas in Jabalpur and Gwalior.

Spain's Ambassador Juan Antonio March Pujol stated that with strong leadership, organization, and management capabilities, India and Spain will work together more effectively.

Hope this doesn't become another white elephant project. We need to ensure the benefits reach common people, not just big industrialists. The government should focus on basic infrastructure first.

Great to see India-Spain collaboration growing. Fira Barcelona has excellent expertise in convention management. This partnership could really transform MP's business tourism landscape.

While this is good news, I hope the government ensures local contractors and workers get priority in construction. We don't want foreign companies taking all the benefits while our people watch from sidelines.

Excellent strategic move! MP's central location makes it ideal for such international facilities. This will reduce pressure on Delhi-NCR and help develop central India. More power to Madhya Pradesh! 💪
