Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin concluded his week-long Europe tour on Sunday, having secured investment commitments exceeding Rs 15,000 crore to boost the state's economy. The visit to Germany and the United Kingdom, starting August 30, aligns with Tamil Nadu's aggressive push for foreign direct investment under the DMK regime, which has positioned the state as a manufacturing hub attracting global firms in automobiles, electronics, and renewables.

Stalin announced pledges totalling Rs 15,516 crore, expected to generate 17,613 new jobs. This adds to the government's track record since assuming office in 2021, with Rs 10.62 lakh crore in investments secured through 922 MoUs, creating opportunities for 32.81 lakh people. Many projects are nearing completion, with several companies already in production.

In a social media post, Stalin shared heartfelt memories of interactions with the Tamil diaspora, who welcomed him warmly in both countries. He expressed gratitude for their "boundless love", reciprocating it as a token of appreciation for treating him like family during the trip.
