Let’s unite on outsourcing: Shourie to Asians

“The Asian countries should take a concerted action against the outsourcing backlash by the US, Europe and Australia to challenge the growing threat of protectionism while charting out a three-point agenda for the Asian nations on taking it to the masses,” Arun Shourie, Union IT and Communication Minister said here at the inauguration of the Second Asian IT Ministers' Summit.

“Outsourcing backlash is a common concern now in the Asian countries, we should take a concerted view and action on the outsourcing backlash unleashed by US, Europe and Australia and face these challenges with a strong counter force.”

Shourie said that similar arguments and cases also come up in WTO as certain countries can not go on expecting opening up of goods and services from others while protecting their own services and markets.

A good move in my opinion, need to unite on common issues, so that in the long term we will have more rapport with in asia and can work for more free trade zones.
