“We are looking forward to working with Consul General for all possible help in improving the relationship with Hyderabad and US. As the Hyderabad Consulate will be the largest consulate in Asia, relations are also at the highest level between Hyderabad and USA. I will work towards creating more jobs in both countries and especially in the Telugu States as the unemployment rate is very high although there is a high talent pool,” he said.

Dr Ravi Kota, Minister (Economic), Embassy of India, who was a special guest, while welcoming Jennifer Larson, highlighted the potential opportunities for strengthening economic relations between USA and in her Consular jurisdiction in India covering Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.
