Infrastructure trade mission connected U.S. businesses with opportunities in India U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson returned this weekend from a five-day trade mission to India, his first as Commerce Secretary. During the mission, Secretary Bryson, a delegation of 16 U.S. businesses, and representatives from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), Export-Import Bank and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) met with senior-level Indian government officials to advocate for U.S. export opportunities in India’s rapidly expanding infrastructure sector, promote investment opportunities in America, and encourage more Indian travelers to visit the United States. The trade mission supported two of President Obama’s priority initiatives: SelectUSA, the first coordinated effort by the U.S. government to attract new business investments to America, and the National Export Initiative, an effort to create more good-paying jobs by doubling U.S. exports by the end of 2014.
