IT and Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao on Monday urged Australia to consider setting up a Consul General office in Hyderabad as a step to enhance bilateral trade and for businesses to explore new growth opportunities.
The Minister, who was addressing the launch of an update to the ‘India Economic Strategy to 2035: Accelerating our Economic Integration’, said this pointing to emergence of Hyderabad as one of the leading centres of economic activity. The city has also been rated as the most liveable in India.
Mr.Rao said “my appeal to Australian government is that you need to engage directly with the States. It is equally important... real action is in the State. Water, fiscal incentives, manpower, day to day issues, all lie within domains of the State governments”.
