Para diplomacy can be understood as the actions initiated by states, provinces, or cities to establish international relations and promote their commercial interests. It also gives regions leverage to engage foreign investors and governments hence opening doors for partnership and capital investment. Rajasthan has adopted this concept in practicing its tourism policies by holding road shows and investor meets nationally and internationally. Such efforts are in the pursuit of introducing itself to a network of potential investors and marketing the state as the hub of opportunities in different fields. The Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit was held from December 9-11, 2024, in Jaipur helping the state to set a mark of significant presence in the global investment market.
This summit can be regarded as a key segment of the para-diplomatic initiatives, aimed at introducing Rajasthan as a favoured investment destination. This approach initiated by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is an initiative to attract foreign investment that is doing wonders for the state.
