Returning home after his eight-day tour to European countries, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday defended his trips to foreign countries, contending that such visits are necessary to showcase the investment potential of Tamil Nadu.

The CM, speaking to media at the airport, said through his visits to Germany and the UK, 33 MoUs have been signed with an investment commitment of ₹15,516 crore that would create 17,613 jobs. Ten new companies have come forward to make investments in Tamil Nadu.

"It would not be an exaggeration to say that my visit to European countries has been the most successful one among all the foreign trips I have undertaken over the past four and a half years. This is because during this visit alone, the highest investments have been attracted. This tour has been a proud one because I unveiled the portrait of social reformer Thanthai Periyar in the 1,000-year-old Oxford University," he added.
