Naidu plans global leadership centre in Amaravati on the lines of Davos forum
Speaking at the special plenary session of the Annual Business Summit 2025 of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in New Delhi, Naidu said his government was aiming at promoting more leaders to lead and provide services to the global community.
'We have requested the CII to set up a global leadership centre in Amaravati to produce leaders of tomorrow. We all have been going to Davos to network, exchange ideas, and meet people, and now, I want to make this place the new global centre. All leaders should come to Amaravati and India to cultivate leadership.'
The chief minister unveiled a development agenda of his government to transform Andhra Pradesh into a $2.4 trillion economy by 2047. Inviting industry leaders to participate in the Swarna Andhra Vision 2047, he called for deeper collaboration in innovation, infrastructure, and inclusive growth.
He said entrepreneurs generate wealth, and with it, the government can implement impactful welfare programmes. 'During the years when the CII Partnership Summit was held in Hyderabad, it brought immense visibility and investment. Now, I seek your support to bring investment to Andhra Pradesh so we can continue creating wealth,' he said.
Naidu said the economic reforms initiated by former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao changed India forever. 'Today, many of the world's achievers are Indians—about 30% of them Telugus. India is poised to serve the global community for centuries to come,' he said.
The chief minister pointed out that technology has matured, and the world is moving forward rapidly with developments in Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, wearables, CCTV, and drones. If real-time data can be harnessed effectively, India, with its pool of outstanding entrepreneurs, can lead this revolution, he said.
While answering a question on competitive federalism, the chief minister said the industrialists should be aware that, 'CBN (Chandrababu Naidu) is a tested brand and he offers the proof of concept.' Thus, they should be choosing his leadership in Andhra Pradesh to build their business, he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (July 2, 2025) said India is committed to BRICS as a vital platform for cooperation among emerging economies as he left on a week-long visit to five countries, including Brazil where he will attend the bloc's meeting. "Together, we strive for a more peaceful, equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order," he said in his departure statement. During the week-long travel, the PM will visit Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil and Namibia. Ghana will be his first port of call. Mr. Modi said that at the invitation of President John Dramani Mahama, he will be there on July 2 and 3. Ghana is a valued partner in the Global South and plays an important role in the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States, he said, adding that he looked forward to talks aimed at further deepening the two countries' historical ties and opening up new windows of cooperation, including in the areas of investment, energy, health, security, capacity building and development partnership. He said, "As fellow democracies, it will be an honour to speak at the Parliament of Ghana." For the next couple of days after visiting Ghana, he will be in Trinidad and Tobago, a country with which India shares deep-rooted historical, cultural and people-to-people connect. Mr. Modi will meet President Christine Carla Kangaloo, who was the chief guest at this year's Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who has recently assumed office for the second term. "Indians first arrived in Trinidad and Tobago 180 years ago. This visit will provide an opportunity to rejuvenate the special bonds of ancestry and kinship that unite us," the Prime Minister said. Mr. Modi will then travel to Buenos Aires, the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Argentina in 57 years. He said Argentina is a key economic partner in Latin America and a close collaborator in the G20 and that he looked forward to discussions with President Javier Milei, whom he had met last year. "We will focus on advancing our mutually beneficial cooperation, including in the areas of agriculture, critical minerals, energy, trade, tourism, technology, and investment," Mr. Modi said. He will attend the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6 and 7. As a founding member, India is committed to BRICS as a vital platform for cooperation among emerging economies, he said. "Together, we strive for a more peaceful, equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order," he added. On the sidelines of the summit, Mr. Modi will meet several world leaders. "I will travel to Brasilia for a bilateral State Visit, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in nearly six decades. This visit will provide an opportunity to strengthen our close partnership with Brazil, and work with my friend, President H.E. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, on advancing the priorities of the Global South," he said. Namibia, which Mr. Modi described as a trusted partner sharing a common history of struggle against colonialism, will be his last destination. He will meet President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and chart a new roadmap for cooperation for the benefit of the two peoples, regions and the wider Global South, Mr. Modi said. He added, "It will be a privilege to also address the Joint Session of Namibian Parliament as we celebrate our enduring solidarity and shared commitment for freedom and development." Mr. Modi expressed confidence that his visits to the five countries will reinforce India's bonds and friendship across the Global South, strengthen their partnerships on both sides of the Atlantic, and deepen engagements in the multilateral platforms such as BRICS, the African Union, ECOWAS and the CARICOM.
