"While walking through the facility, your chairman said, Infosys has

offices all over the world except China and I wish we open an office in Shangai.

I am approving it from my end, you are most welcome to China," said Rongji.

However, the company’s newly appointed managing director, Nandan M Nilekani

said, "We will decide and announce the plans and proposals of setting up an

office in China. We are happy that we have got the approval from the prime

minister and will soon work out the plans".

Visiting the Infosys campus in Bangalore, Rongji was all praises for Infosys’s

strength and leadership in the software sector. "You have lived up to the

good reputation that you have earned in the world as a software super power. ‘Advanced

Technology, Outstanding talent and tremendous achievement’ are the exact words

that I have written in the guest book of your company."

Extending his good words to the country, he commented, "India stands

leads in the software exports and China lags far behind. However we are the

leaders in hardware and combining India’s software strength with China’s

hardware dominance, we could potentially become world leaders in the world of

information technology."

He called upon a bilateral relationship, between the two countries, in the

world of technology and science to make contributions to the development of

mankind.
