Barack Obama In India
BARACK OBAMA TRIP TO INDIA:Barack Obama has announced the launch of his trip to India entering into transactions with a value of ten billion dollars. This will lead to the creation of more than 50,000 jobs in the U.S., Obama said in Mumbai. He pointed out that many Americans, India as “Land of the call center” to see the opportunities in the U.S. were the victims.
Obama campaigned on Saturday in Mumbai, formerly Bombay, for improved economic relations between the two countries. India is “one of the fastest growing markets in the world” and a potential buyer of U.S. products, he said in a speech to Indian and U.S. entrepreneurs. However, the trade of his country with the rising economic power is still lower than with the Netherlands. “I have no doubt that we can manage better -. There is no reason why this country can not be one of our major trading partners”
The U.S. president, who had to insert because of the poor economic development and high unemployment in the U.S. a bitter election defeat in congressional elections, announced commercial contracts of around ten billion dollars that will create according to his information, about 50,000 jobs in the United States. These include, inter alia, the purchase of 30 aircraft of the U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing by the Indian airline Spice Airlines for 7.7 billion dollars.
Obama also announced a reform of U.S. export controls in order to facilitate trade with India. Accordingly, the United States wants restrictions to facilitate the delivery of products that can be used in addition to civilian and military purposes. But must also dismantle the Asian country trade and investment barriers to promote the creation of jobs and growth, Obama warned.
Two years after the bombings of Mumbai by Muslim extremists with more than 160 deaths Obama recalled the victims and assured that his country stood in solidarity with India in fight against extremists. Obama is not mentioned that the extremists came from neighboring Pakistan – a U.S. ally in the region in the fight against terrorism and India’s archrival. In a speech to students on Sunday in New Delhi granted the U.S. president, however, that Pakistan’s fight against terrorism, despite initial success is not going ahead as quickly as hoped. Obama called on Pakistan and India on the approximation.
