On the sidelines of the India-US Strategic Dialogue in New Delhi next week, US India Business Council (USIBC) has organised briefings for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's delegation, comprised of senior US government officials, led by Under Secretary of State Robert Hormats.

The briefing will feature in their discussions the most promising US technologies, innovations, and counter-terrorism measures developed since the 9/11 terror strikes on American soil.

Sharing such technologies with India, companies feel, will enhance India's ability to thwart future terrorist attacks, and will strengthen homeland security, while deepening bonds of partnership, trust, and solidarity that stand against perpetrators of terror, USIBC said in a media release.

"Technology intervention, especially by those innovations that have grown out of the experiences garnered from 9/11 in the United States can provide a shared platform to fight this common enemy," said Ron Somers, USIBC president.

"Business is hopeful that efforts to spur investment in homeland security, in defence trade, as well as in green infrastructure development between the United States and India, creating a stronger 'two-way street' of information flow, will be high priorities for discussion in the upcoming US-India Strategic Dialogue," he added.

USIBC will convene industry leaders in Delhi on Tuesday for Hormats and his high-powered delegation, which includes the US Export Import Bank President, the head of the Washington-based Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), and leaders of top US government agencies, including the Department of Energy, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the US Trade & Development Agency.

The USIBC "Industry Briefing" for these visiting officials aims to share ideas where collaborations between American business and Indian counterparts could be mobilised in a rapid and sustained manner to mutual benefit.

Cognisant founder, Lakshmi Narayanan, Member Emeritus of the USIBC Board of Directors, will chair the industry briefing for Hormats.
