AHMEDABAD: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has been invited by the Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, as a special guest to narrate the ‘Gujarat growth story’ at the Forum’s ‘Summer Davos’ summit in China in September and its annual event in Davos in January.

Mr. Modi , along with a business delegation from the State, called on Prof. Schwab and WEF managing director Peter Torrelle in Geneva during a three-day visit to Switzerland this week, said Pankaj Patel, chairman of Zydus Cadila and president of the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
