China is looking forward to work together with Odisha for the development of the tourism sector, according to the leader of a Chinese delegation touring the state.

“Tourism in the state is still a virgin area and needs to be explored properly to achieve its full potential. The government needs to promote the sector,” Li Siling, Deputy Director, China Executive Leadership Academy, told media persons on the sideline of a seminar organized by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-Odisha on “Doing Business with China”.

"The state government should organize promotional activities as we don’t know how keen or friendly the state government is in attracting investments,” he added.
