Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has embarked on a tour of the United States and Canada to promote the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2027. The delegation, led by Patel, includes senior government officials and leaders from various industries in Gujarat. The delegation will be touring the two countries from August 17 to 24, with the aim of holding roundtable conferences and one-to-one meetings with industrial investors, leaders from the emerging technology sector, and Gujarati communities.
