Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's four-day trip to UAE, scheduled between May 7 and 11, has been postponed after the Central government denied permission for the same. It is not yet clear why permission was rejected.

The chief minister was scheduled to take part in an investment meet organised at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, and a couple of other events. He was officially invited to the Exhibition by the UAE government.
