Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday made a strong case for a suitable and simplified mechanism by the Indian government, which would allow State governments to enter into MoUs with other countries, their Ministries and agencies, especially for investment promotion and strengthening academia-industry network.
Addressing the 30th Southern Zonal Council Meeting in Kerala, he said a mechanism was necessary because clearances and no-objection certificates from the External Affairs Ministry had caused a delay in signing the MoUs.
