"It was a very good trip. I have not ever seen such a successful tour in my life. I am happy that I could do so much for Bengal," she told the reporters at Kolkata airport, as per PTI. 

"The meetings were organised by FICCI, an Indian Chamber of Commerce. There were major MoUs signed,” she added. 

Later, taking to X, Banerjee said that she was back in the city with "serious offers for investments and partnerships from Spain and Dubai".

"Back to Kolkata with serious offers for investments and partnerships from Spain and Dubai. Follow-up overseas delegations will come shortly and during BGBS in November for carrying forward what we started. I thank the Indian Embassies, CII, FICCI, ICC, accompanying industry-business delegates and the media fraternity for working hard towards a common mission. Jai Biswa Bangla! Jai Hind!," she posted on the microblogging site. 

Banerjee was accompanied by Chief Secretary HK Dwivedi and other senior officials, industrialists and representatives of three major football clubs — Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting — on her visit on September 12, mainly to attract investment ahead of the Bengal Global Business Summit scheduled in November.
