WASHINGTON: In a bid to restore investors' confidence after Mumbai terror attacks, the US-India Business Council (USIBC) has presented an optimistic assessment of the security situation in India, saying it is committed to doing trade with the country.
Government Security Officers from the American Embassy in India today shared with USIBC member-companies a cautious but upbeat assessment of the security situation in Mumbai, as life in India's financial capital returns to normal.
Representatives of the Taj Group of Hotels and Oberoi Group of Hotels, who also joined in the USIBC members-only tele-conference, indicated that sophisticated security measures had been put in place since the November 26 attacks on Mumbai, reassuring future visitors and hotel guests.
The Taj and Oberoi properties will reopen for business on December 21, it was reported, the USIBC, a premier business advocacy group, said in a statement.
"It is a testament to the resilience and courage of the people of Mumbai how quickly India's financial capital has returned to normal. It is equally remarkable how India has demonstrated such restraint in so far as its relations with Pakistan in the wake of the Mumbai attacks. For USIBC, this must mean a re-doubled commitment to doing business with India," Ron Somers, President of the USIBC, said.
"The correct response to this heinous act is for the US business community to get right back on jet planes as soon as possible to renew our engagement and partnership with India," he said.
