After a two-year hiatus, the two-day Bengal Global Business Conference — a hallmark industry summit of the Mamata Banerjee administration – is due to begin on April 20.When West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2021, she invited him to the summit. Officials from the state administration, however, were unable to confirm if Modi will attend the meeting.“We could not organise the BGBS in the past two years because of the pandemic. So far I know 14 countries are participating in this year’s BGBS. I feel that Bengal is the gateway of industries,” Banerjee had said last week while inaugurating a permanent exhibition centre in Kolkata.
