Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday praised top Indian IT company Infosys for its plans to create 10,000 jobs in the U.S. in the next two years.

Mr. Pompeo mentioned Infosys’s 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,” he said.

It means a lot, Mr. Pompeo said, adding that in his role as Secretary of State, he recognised that only an economically strong America can “fulfil its commitments to our allies and deter aggressors from imperiling the global good.” He said when countries cooperated for economic success, it strengthened their alliances.
