14th WCTOH: We will prevail!

Mumbai has spoken. And this time it is different. While we raise our voices in unison against terrorism and rage over the apathy shown by our political system, we are fully aware that unless our emotion is translated into action, all the lives lost would be in vain.

14th WCTOH will not let terror get in its way. Like Mumbai, we will prevail.

Our secretariat is fully operational and we will remain committed to our cause. Our source of strength lies in the tremendous support we have received via emails and phone calls which have been flooding in from all over the globe with just one message WE WILL BE THERE IN MARCH.

Though unnerved by the terror attack in Mumbai, many expatriate CEOs who have made this city their first home do not think that Mumbai or other parts of India have become unsafe. Tourists and several expats have come on national television to say that they will continue to visit Mumbai.

The authorities have declared that Mumbai is safe and with the response we have been receiving from our supporters across the world we are confident that we will be seeing you all in Mumbai in March 2009.
