Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who is in China along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today said the state will welcome Chinese expertise and investment.


"Our country is rapidly urbanising, so our PM has unveiled his vision of making smart cities. India's most urbanised state, Maharashtra has much to contribute to it and thus would welcome Chinese expertise and investment in this sector," Fadnavis said.


The Chief Minister, who spoke about strengthening ties between Maharashtra and Chinese provinces at the 'Forum of Leaders of Regions of India and China', in a series of tweets, thanked Premier Li and Modi "for making province to province connect a reality," adding "he looks forward to stronger partnerships."
