Chief Minister Narendra Modi may not get to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) also known as Summer Davos, at Tianjin, China, on September 27 and 28.

However, while Modi's officials maintained that he has got an invite to attend the powerful forum of international business and political leaders, his name does not figure in the list of invitees put on the WEF website.

Modi had attended last year's Summer Davos held at Dalian, China on the invitation of WEF chief professor Charles Schwab. The annual meet is associated with high-powered interactions and deal making. The Modi administration had projected the earlier invites as a proof of the CM's acceptance in the business world.

However, this year, the list of invitees that goes under the name of "Ministers, Forward Thinking Leaders of Regions, and Mayors of Cities" has Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Union Minister of Science and Technology Kapil Sibal as the only names from India. Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani is one of the mentors of the summit.

While officials involved in preparations for the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit expressed ignorance about the invite, Modi's Principal Secretary K Kailasnathan said the CM had received an invite. However, he expressed his inability to confirm Modi’s attendance in the summit.
