The West Bengal CM is on a 12-day tour of Spain and United Arab Emirates to seek investments for the state.
"It's been five years since we went abroad. Spain was the theme country of this year's International Kolkata Book Fair. They are good in manufacturing and other industries. We will be participating in business conferences there," said Banerjee on reaching Dubai airport on Wednesday.
Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly, who is currently in London, will join her team in Madrid, reported PTI.
"We will stay in Madrid for three days, during which we will attend a business summit and meet non-resident Bengalis. From there, we will take a train to Barcelona, where we will participate in a two-day meeting for the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS)," the Chief Minister told reporters at state secretariat Nabanna on Tuesday.
Banerjee and her team will return to Dubai, where she will attend a meeting on BGBS and some other meetings.
"We will stay in Dubai for one-and-half days before returning to Kolkata on September 23," the CM was quoted as saying by PTI.
