US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday praised top Indian IT company Infosys for its plans to create 10,000 jobs in the US in the next two years.<\/p>\n
Pompeo mentioned Infosys\u2019s job creation plans in his address to the Select USA Investment Summit that has attracted investors from across the globe, including India.<\/p>\n
Representatives from Infosys are also attending the summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Trump administration is committed to an environment for business that will keep generating this kind of prosperity,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n
It means a lot, Pompeo said, adding that in his role as Secretary of State, he recognises that only an economically strong America can fulfill its commitments to our allies and deter aggressors from imperiling the global good.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the East Coast, in Raleigh, North Carolina, will be the home of North Carolina Technology and Innovation Hub built by India\u2019s IT and consulting company Infosys,\u201d Pompeo said in his address.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs part of its plan to create 10,000 American jobs over the next two years, Infosys plans to hire 2,000 Americans for its Raleigh hub by 2021,\u201d said the top American diplomat.<\/p>\n
Pompeo said the company had also partnered with North Carolina Community College System to create a customised programme to recruit and train and ultimately hire the workforce of the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cProsperous partners have a greater ability to confront real security challenges that we all face and threaten each of our countries, Pompeo said, adding that these threats are real.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether that is terrorism, illegal migration, or rogue state actors, we need robust economic growth among our partners and allies to push back. And the State Department is a key player in facilitating commerce that benefits both the American people and our partners,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
More than 3,000 delegates from 66 countries are attending this year\u2019s summit, including delegates from 15 new countries.<\/p>\n
