Apart from New Delhi, the seat of the Indian government, Hydrabad is the only other city that has drawn in two US Presidents in six years. Three south Indian cities were hoping to host President Bush , but it was Hydrabad that became second time lucky. President Clinton visited Hydrabad in 2000.
The pace of economic growth especially in the fields of IT may be the reason attracting global leaders to Hyderabad. Hyerabad is the new face of India. It is the face of India's globalisation. It is the face of modernity. President Bush may have chosen to visit Hyderabad because America regards Hyderabad as an emerging global city. The state has been also an ideal investment destination for many global companies, especially from the US.
Hydrabad is also known for its pearls, palaces and mouth-watering cuisine. And of course the city excels in IT, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. So it is the most happening place in India.
After President Bush's visit, it has been announced that United States is opening a consulate in Hyderabad. This will be the fourth US consulate in India, after Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. Thousands of young people from Hydrabad are going to the United States every year on job and student visas. They have to go to Chennai to get the visas. Now, it will be possible for the people of this state to get the US visas from the consulate in Hyderabad.
