During his trip, he managed to secure investment commitments worth ₹15,300 crore, which are expected to generate 10,000 jobs directly and indirectly. The State Government office announced this noteworthy achievement in a statement.\n\nUpon his return, Mr. Vijay met with Indian High Commissioner Kumaran Periyasamy and discussed potential joint ventures between India and the U.K. under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Earlier, he had announced in the Assembly his government's ambition to establish a world-class Sports City.\n\nIn addition to these political engagements, Vijay visited the Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit to discuss modern car-racing technology and security arrangements.
