Pompeo Praises Infosys For Planning To Create 10,000 Jobs In U.S.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised top Indian information technology company Infosys Ltd. for its plans to create 10,000 jobs in the U.S. in the next two years.
Pompeo mentioned Infosys' job creation plans in his address to the Select USA Investment Summit that has attracted investors from across the globe, including India. Representatives from Infosys are also attending the summit.
“The Trump administration is committed to an environment for business that will keep generating this kind of prosperity,” Pompeo said.
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 its allies and deter aggressors from imperiling the global good.

Pompeo said the company had also partnered North Carolina Community College System to create a customised programme to recruit, train and ultimately hire the workforce of the future.
