India Loves Our Province

Our good friends at the Hindu Business Line recently covered Vilsack’s visit to India, and it’s kind of funny:

Indian businesses can invest in a lot of sectors such as agriculture and software in US province of Iowa, the industry chamber FICCI said on Monday.

“Iowa offers opportunities for Indian companies to invest in sectors such as biotech, agriculture, real estate, defence, banking, telecom, infrastructure, manufacturing,” Mr Saroj Poddar, president, FICCI, said at a function to welcome the visiting Iowa Governor, Mr Thomas J Vilsack.

It’ll be interesting to see if Indian money flowing into Iowa might start to compensate for American money flowing into India (in the form of outsourcing) sometime in the future. Either way, what was Vilsack doing in India?
