Swiss President Guy Parmelin Visits Noida International Airport With 65-Member Delegation, Inspects Jewar Facilities

Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Government showcased its commitment to becoming a global investment hub during Swiss President Guy Bernard Parmelin's visit to Noida International Airport in Jewar. A delegation of approximately 65 members, including the President's wife, Swiss Ambassador, National Council members, State Secretaries, and around 40 industrialists, arrived at the airport with high expectations of strengthening cooperation between Uttar Pradesh and Switzerland in economic, technical, and aviation sectors.

Upon arrival, the delegation was greeted by Uttar Pradesh's IT and Electronics Cabinet Minister Sunil Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary of the Civil Aviation Department, IIDC Deepak Kumar, and Invest UP's CEO Vijay Kiran Anand. They were presented with traditional angavastram, symbolizing respect and welcome from the UP Government.

Uttar Pradesh's development policy, led by the Yogi Government, focuses on better connectivity, modern infrastructure, and an investment-friendly environment. The Noida International Airport, being developed at Jewar, plays a crucial role in this vision, as it connects western Uttar Pradesh with global air connectivity and fuels industrial, business, and investment activities in the region.

Notably, Swiss company Zurich Airport International AG has a subsidiary that developed the airport, bringing in Swiss technical expertise and investment.

The delegation's visit began at the NIA Office in the Avni Board Room, where President Guy Bernard Parmelin addressed the group. A lunch was held in the airport courtyard, accompanied by Indian music, followed by a group photograph. The delegation was then split into two groups for inspections. President Parmelin, his wife, and selected officials inspected the airside and ATC Tower, while the other members examined various facilities, including the terminal, security area, boarding gates, apron, and baggage reclaim.

As the delegation departed at around 2 pm, it became clear that the visit held significant implications for future cooperation and investment opportunities. The UP Government's investment promotion policies and continuous efforts in the IT and electronics sectors have created a thriving environment for global companies. Thus, President Parmelin's visit to Jewar Airport not only served the purpose of airport inspection but also opened doors for potential economic and industrial cooperation in IT, electronics, technology, and aviation sectors.
