Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai commenced a 10-day international visit to Japan and South Korea on Thursday, aiming to draw foreign investment into the state. This trip marks Sai's first overseas engagement since taking office, with a focus on boosting electronics, automobile, and food processing sectors.
