Pawan Kalyan toured the Andhra Pradesh Pavilion during the 31st CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam. They examined various stalls displaying the state's industrial plans, cultural heritage, and traditional products. Senior officials briefed them on infrastructure and industrial projects in Tirupati, Visakhapatnam, and Amaravati economic regions. The group also reviewed an exhibition on the expansion of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across the state. They visited stalls featuring traditional arts like 'Tholu Bommalata' (leather puppetry), Pen Kalamkari, and tribal artwork. Naidu explained the contributions of notable Andhra Pradesh figures to Goyal, highlighting their creative mastery. The dignitaries posed for photos in front of cultural installations and tasted locally grown tribal coffee at the Araku Coffee stall.
