OPINION REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR PERMISSIVE ABSTENTION AND/OR A STAY OF THE PROCEEDINGS PENDING RESOLUTION OF LUXEMBOURG PROCEEDINGS
Before the Court is a complaint and claims for relief (the “Complaint”) by Plaintiffs Andrew Bickerton (the “Liquidator”), in his capacity as Liquidator of Wellgate International Ltd. (‘Wellgate”) and Crastvell Trading Limited (“Crast-vell”) against Defendant Bozel, S.A. (the “Debtor”) and Michel Marengére (“Mar-engére,” together with the Debtor, the “Defendants”) seeking (1) a judicial determination that, as a matter of corporate governance, the Liquidator of the Debtor’s sole shareholder has the authority to take any and all actions consistent with that position, including but not limited to removing the Debtor’s director, Marengére, from his role as the Debtor’s sole director, and directing Marengére and the Debtor to turn over to the Liquidator books, records, and documents and to submit to the Liquidator’s authority; (2) an order granting a preliminary, and then permanent, injunction pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 105 and Bankruptcy Rule 7065(a) restraining and enjoining Marengére, and any individual or entity controlled or directed by him, (i) from exercising, or attempting to exercise, any control over the assets of the Debtor or of any of its non-debtor subsidiaries, (ii) from interfering in any way with the rights of the Liquidator, including the Liquidator’s rights to assert control over the assets of the Debtor and of any of its non-debtor subsidiaries, and (b) directing Marengére, and any individual or entity controlled or directed by him, to turn over to the Liquidator any and all books and records of the Debtor and of any of its non-debtor subsidiaries; and (3) such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Background
The Liquidator was duly appointed by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the High Court of Justice, British Virgin Islands (the “BVI Court”) pursuant to the British Virgin Islands Insolvency Act, 2003 (the “BVI Insolvency Act”) as the liquidator of Wellgate, a company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Wellgate, a company in the business of financing the merger and acquisition of distressed assets and non-core subsidiaries of large conglomerates, owns 100% of the stock of the Debtor. The Debtor1 is a holding company that owns 100% of the stock in Bozel LLC (“Bozel LLC”),2 Bozel Europe S.A.S. (“Bozel Europe”),3 and Bozel Mineracao Itda4 (“Bozel Brazil,” and together with Bozel LLC and Bozel Europe, the “Bozel Subsidiaries”). The Debtor invented Calcium Silicon Cored Wire, an industry-preferred ingredi*92ent in the production of high quality steel and steel alloys and is a worldwide leader in the sale of calcium silicon (“CaSi”), selling over 40% of the world’s CaSi powder output.
The second Plaintiff in the above-captioned adversary proceeding (the “Adversary Proceeding”), Crastvell, is a BVI company that is the Debtor’s largest secured creditor. Defendant Marengére purports, and the Liquidator disputes, that he is the Debtor’s managing director.
In an order dated March 9, 2010 and entered on March 10, 2010 (the “BVI Order”), the BVI Court appointed the Liquidator as the liquidator in Wellgate’s insolvency proceeding pursuant to the BVI Insolvency Act. Among other things, the BVI Order authorized the Liquidator to carry on the business of Wellgate, sell or otherwise dispose of its property, and undertake all acts and execute any document on behalf of Wellgate. Pursuant to his appointment, the Liquidator has a duty to investigate and report on the business of Wellgate, which includes business affairs of the Debtor and the Bozel Subsidiaries.5
On April 6, 2010 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to § 1707(a) and § 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor continues to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession.
On April 7, 2010, the Liquidator executed a document of the Debtor entitled “Resolutions of the Sole Shareholder” (the “Shareholder Resolution”) which, among other things, resolves “to remove Mr. Michel Marengére from his office of director Cadministmteur) and of day-to-day managing director (administrateur-délégué) of [the Debtor] and to give effect to this removal as at [sic] March 10, 2010.” (Compl.Ex.H.) On April 8, 2010, the Liquidator caused the Journal Officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg to publish an “Extrait des resolutions ” (“Resolutions Certificate”), which sets forth the Shareholder Resolutions in substantial part.6 *93The Debtor alleges, and the Liquidator disputes, that the Shareholder’s Resolution was improper and void ab initio as a matter of Luxembourg law.
On April 28, 2010, the Liquidator filed a motion (1) to enforce corporate governance rights, (2) to designate responsible persons, or in the alternative, (3) for relief from the automatic stay (the “Governance Motion”)7 and an ex parte application (the “Ex Parte Application”) to shorten time for notice and hearing on the Governance Motion. On April 29, 2010, the Debtor filed an objection to the Ex Parte Application.
On May 5, 2010, Marengére commenced two proceedings against the Liquidator in Luxembourg (the “Luxembourg Proceedings”). Among other things, the first proceeding (the “Summary Proceeding”) seeks a judicial declaration that the Shareholder Resolution filed by the Liquidator is suspended with immediate effect. The second proceeding (the “Commercial Proceeding”) seeks a declaration that the Shareholder Resolution filed by the Liquidator is void ab initio under Luxembourg law and further declaration that the Liquidator’s actions declaring himself the Debt- or’s sole managing director and manager is void because (1) no order for his appointment was domesticated in Luxembourg; (2) the Liquidator’s actions outside BVI were not authorized; (3) the Liquidator’s actions violate Luxembourg law; and are (4) contrary to existing Bozel S.A. governance agreements (the “Bozel Governance Agreement”). Also on May 5, 2010, the Court held a hearing on the Ex Parte Application and a status conference in the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case where the Debt- or advised the Court about the Luxembourg Proceedings. The Court convened a conference call with the parties on May 6, 2010 and directed (1) the Liquidator to raise the corporate governance issues as alleged in the Governance Motion by way of an adversary proceeding, and (2) that the parties agree on a schedule for briefing and arguments on the issue of the Court’s jurisdiction over the corporate governance issues, including the validity of the Shareholder Resolution under Luxembourg law.
To address some of the allegations raised by the Liquidator regarding Maren-gére’s management of the Debtor and the Bozel Subsidiaries,8 the Court entered an order directing the appointment of a Chapter 11 examiner on May 13, 2010. An order approving the appointment of James L. Garrity Jr. as an examiner in the Debt- or’s Chapter 11 case was entered on May 25, 2010.
As directed by the Court at the May 6, 2010 telephone conference, the Plaintiffs *94filed the Adversary Proceeding on May 7, 2010.
Subsequently, the Court held a hearing on May 19, 2010 and ruled that it has “related to” jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b) to consider the corporate governance dispute raised in the Adversary Proceeding.
On May 28, 2010, the Debtor filed a motion for permissive abstention pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(1) and comity as to the Complaint, or in the alternative, a stay of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 proceedings pending resolution of the Luxembourg Proceedings (the “Abstention Motion”). On June 2, 2010, the Plaintiffs filed an objection to the Abstention Motion (the “Objection to Abstention”) and the Plaintiffs’ Initial Trial Brief. On June 11, 2010, the Debtor filed the Defendant’s Trial Brief.
On June 18, 2010, the Court held a conference call informing the parties that the scheduled hearing on June 23, 2010 would address only the issues of (1) whether the Court should exercise permissive abstention pursuant to § 1334(c)(1) and international comity and (2) whether the Court has personal jurisdiction over Mar-engére. The hearing (the “Abstention Hearing”) on these two issues began as scheduled on June 23, 2010 and concluded on June 24, 2010.
The Liquidator’s Standing9
The Debtor argues that this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the claims as alleged in the Complaint because the Liquidator lacks standing to pursue the Adversary Proceeding in absence of recognition of the BYI Proceeding pursuant to Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code.
§ 1501(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in relevant parts, provides:
(b) This chapter applies where-
(1) assistance is sought in the United States by a foreign court or a foreign representative in connection with a foreign proceeding;
(2) assistance is sought in a foreign country in connection with a case under this title;
(3) a foreign proceeding and a case under this title with respect to the same debtor are pending concurrently; or
(4) creditors or other interested persons in a foreign country have an interest in requesting the commencement of, or participating in a case or proceeding under this title.
11 U.S.C. § 1501(b) (2006).
The Debtor argues that, in seeking relief identified in the Complaint, the Liquidator is seeking assistance in the United States in connection with a foreign proceeding within the meaning of § 1501(b)(1) and also seeking to participate in the Chapter 11 proceeding of the Debtor within the meaning of § 1501(b)(4). The Debtor, however, has confused the issues by referring to Wellgate and Bozel S.A. interchangeably as if they are one in the same when they are, in fact, separate corporate entities.
Chapter 15 is not applicable because no foreign proceeding involving the Debtor has been commenced, and no foreign representative of the Debtor is seeking for ancillary relief before this Court. The BVI Proceeding is an insolvency proceeding of the Debtor’s parent company, Well-gate, and the Liquidator is seeking relief in his capacity as the Debtor’s sole shareholder in the Debtor’s voluntary Chapter 11 case. The Debtor does not dispute the *95fact that the Liquidator, as the duly appointed representative of Wellgate’s insolvency proceeding in BVI, has become the sole shareholder of the Debtor. It is merely challenging the validity of the shareholder’s conduct under Luxembourg and BVI law in light of, among other things, the Bozel Governance Agreement.
Further, this case is fundamentally different from the Caxton 10 and J.A. Jones 11 lines of cases where a foreign representative appointed in a concurrent foreign proceeding of the same debtor is seeking assistance and cooperation in an ancillary U.S. proceeding. In those types of situations, Chapter 15 would be applicable and a foreign representative would have to first obtain recognition of the foreign proceeding before a U.S. court could grant relief under the statute. But this case does not involve an original proceeding commenced by a foreign representative who is seeking to obtain ancillary relief in a U.S. court. This case involves a shareholder, who also happens to be a liquidator in a separate and distinct foreign insolvency proceeding, seeking to exercise his corporate governance rights in the Chapter 11 case of a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Therefore, the Court finds that Chapter 15 is not applicable, and as the sole shareholder of the Debtor, the Liquidator has standing to pursue the Adversary Proceeding.
Crastvell’s Standing
The Defendants acknowledge Crastvell’s right to be heard before this Court pursuant to 11 U.SC. § 1109,12 but challenge its direct standing to pursue the Adversary Proceeding. To the extent that the Court’s bench ruling on May 19, 2010 could be interpreted as Crastvell having the right to directly pursue the Adversary Proceeding under § 1109 even if the Liquidator were found to have no standing,13 it was erroneous because § 1109 does not confer standing on a party to commence an action that it otherwise would not have. In other words, if the Liquidator did not have standing to commence the Adversary Proceeding in the first place, Crastvell could not be found to have standing to commence the Adversary Proceeding pursuant to § 1109. By way of clarifying its ruling on May 19, 2010, the Court holds that the Liquidator has standing to bring the Adversary Proceeding, and Crastvell has standing to intervene the Adversary Proceeding under § 1109. However, Crastvell does not have direct standing to pursue the claims alleged in the Complaint independent of the Liquidator.
In order to have constitutional standing in litigation, a plaintiff must, first, allege an “injury that is concrete, particularized, and actual or imminent; fairly traceable to [Debtor’s] challenged behavior; and likely to be redressed by a favor*96able ruling.” Davis v. Fed. Election Comm’n, — U.S. -, -, 128 S.Ct. 2759, 2768, 171 L.Ed.2d 737 (2008); see Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.S. 490, 498-99, 95 S.Ct. 2197, 45 L.Ed.2d 343 (1975). Second, a plaintiff must also establish prudential standing, which means plaintiffs must be neither alleging a generalized grievance, nor asserting the legal rights of a third party. See id at 499, 95 S.Ct. 2197.
Here, Plaintiffs assert that Crastvell has direct standing to commence the Adversary Proceeding because it is seeking to vindicate its own rights and to protect its own interests as the Debtor’s creditor and not the rights of a third party, the Liquidator. However, in making this assertion, the Plaintiffs do not specify which rights or interests it is vindicating. Crastvell is not an equity holder of the Debtor. Its status as a creditor, even as the largest single creditor of the Debtor, does not give it the right to bring claims related to the internal governance of the Debtor corporation as that is a right of an equity holder. Crastvell’s appropriate course of action, in the event that it has concerns about Debt- or's management, is a motion under 11 U.S.C. § 110414 to request an appointment of a trustee. It is true that Crastvell’s interests may be impacted by an unfavorable ruling on the corporate governance issue. But such interest alone is not enough to give Crastvell standing. See Warth, 422 U.S. at 510, 95 S.Ct. 2197 (stating that “incidental congruity of interest” in the absence of other relationship between the injured and claimant parties is insufficient to allow standing). Plaintiffs rely heavily on In re Cadiz Props., 278 B.R. 744 (Bankr.N.D.Tex.2002) in making the contention regarding Crastvell’s direct standing in the Adversary Proceeding. While Cadiz stands for the proposition that corporate governance matters are properly resolved in an adversary proceeding, the material dispute in Cadiz was whether the creditor in that case had ownership of the stock in the debtor,15 while here Crastvell has no claim or ownership of the Debtor’s stock. Thus, Crastvell does not have the same claim to standing as the creditor in Cadiz.16
Since Crastvell is not a shareholder of Debtor, it does not have an independent legal right to a claim based on the internal corporate governance of the Debtor. *97Crastvell is an entity entirely distinct from the liquidator of Debtor’s parent, Wellgate. Therefore, any claim it seeks to bring would be to enforce the rights of the Liquidator as sole shareholder of Debtor. Consequently, any such claims would be asserting the rights of a third party and so fail the prudential element of standing. See Warth, 422 U.S. at 499, 95 S.Ct. 2197; Elk Grove Unified Sch. Dist. v. Newdow, 542 U.S. 1, 12, 124 S.Ct. 2301, 159 L.Ed.2d 98 (2004) (quoting Allen v. Wright, 468 U.S. 737, 104 S.Ct. 3315, 82 L.Ed.2d 556 (1984)) (stating the “general prohibition on a litigant’s raising another person’s rights”).
In sum, Crastvell has standing to intervene in the Adversary Proceeding under § 1109 but no direct standing to pursue the Adversary Proceeding independent of the Liquidator.17
Personal Jurisdiction
Defendant Marengére moved for the claims against him to be dismissed for the Court’s lack of in personam jurisdiction over him in his individual capacity. The sum of Marengére’s argument is that his contacts with the State of New York are insufficient to impose personal jurisdiction over him in this Adversary Proceeding because Marengére is a citizen of Canada who resides in Quebec, Canada, he does not own, use or possess any real property in New York, and he travels to New York solely in his capacity as the purported managing director of the Debtor to transact business.
Pursuant to Rule 7004(f) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, in a case or civil proceeding arising under the Bankruptcy Code, or case arising in or related to a case under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court may exercise personal jurisdiction over a defendant who has been properly served under Rule 7004(d),18 allowing for nationwide service of process “[i]f the exercise of jurisdiction is consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States.” Fed. R. Bankr.P. 7004(f).19 Because valid service of process pursuant to Rule 7004(d) is sufficient to establish personal jurisdiction, state long-arm statutes are inapplicable, and the only remaining inquiry for a bankruptcy court is whether exercising personal jurisdiction over the defendant would be consistent with the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. In re Enron Corp., 316 B.R. 434, 440, 444-45 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2004) (stating that the Fifth Amendment, not the Fourteenth Amendment applies). Since Marengére does not contend that service of process was improper, he is subject to personal jurisdiction in this Court so long as the Due Process requirements are satisfied.
The Due Process analysis requires that: (1) the defendant has sufficient “minimum contacts” with the United States as a whole; and (2) the exercise of jurisdic*98tion is “reasonable” such that it would not offend “traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.” Asahi Metal Indus. Co. v. Superior Count, 480 U.S. 102, 108-09, 113, 107 S.Ct. 1026, 94 L.Ed.2d 92 (1987); see also Chew v. Dietrich, 143 F.3d 24, 28 n. 4 (2d Cir.1998) (stating the analysis under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments is basically the same with the primary difference being that the Fifth Amendment looks at contacts with the United States, not the forum state); In re Bernard L. Madoff Inv. Sec. LLC, 418 B.R. 75, 79-80 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2009) (citations omitted) (applying minimum contacts with the United States as a whole in a bankruptcy proceeding).
A. Minimum Contacts
i General Jurisdiction
A court may establish general jurisdiction over a defendant in any action, regardless of whether the suit arises out of the defendant’s contacts with the forum jurisdiction, if the defendant’s contacts with the forum are “continuous and systematic,” whereby establishing personal jurisdiction would not offend Due Process. See Helicopteros Nacionales de Colombia, S.A. v. Hall, 466 U.S. 408, 415 n. 9, 104 S.Ct. 1868, 80 L.Ed.2d 404 (1984). First, Marengére has purposefully availed himself of the privilege of conducting business in the U.S. as he is listed as the registered agent, director, or managing member of three corporate entities in Florida: Bozel, LLC, 373 Florida Corp., and Spearhead Limited, Inc. Bozel, LLC is one of the Debtor’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and it is a Florida limited liability company, while 373 Florida Corp. and Spearhead Limited Inc. are incorporated in Florida. Second, the address 555 South Federal Highway, Suite 260, Boca Raton, Florida was listed as Marengére’s professional address in both the filings of the Luxembourg Proceedings as well as the Bozel Governance Agreement. Marengére verified at the § 341 hearing on June 11, 2010 that he is in control of this Florida location (341 Hr’g. Tr. 64, May 21, 2010.) Further, Debtor’s proposed counsel represented that Marengére conducts meetings with the vice president of Bozel LLC, Mr. Joseph Mineracao, in New York, and management meetings relating to Bozel LLC and the Debtor occurs in New York eighty-five percent of the time. (Hr’g. Tr. 5, May 5, 2010.) Marengére also informed the U.S. Trustee that he opened a bank account for the Debtor in New York. (341 Hr’g. Tr. 24.) Although Marengére is not always physically present in the United States when conducting business in the United States, the Supreme Court has held that physical presence in the forum is not required to establish minimum contacts. See Burger King Corp. v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 476, 105 S.Ct. 2174, 85 L.Ed.2d 528 (1985); Colder v. Jones, 465 U.S. 783, 787, 104 S.Ct. 1482, 79 L.Ed.2d 804 (1984). Most importantly, Marengére purposefully availed himself of the protections afforded by U.S. law by signing and filing for the Debtor’s Chapter 11 petition in New York. Since the Commencement Date, Marengére was present at multiple hearings20 and testified at the Abstention Hearing on June 24, 2010.21
*99Marengére maintains that he has insufficient contacts with the state of New York to subject him to personal jurisdiction because his contacts with New York relate only to his capacity as a corporate officer. He argues that because he does not have contacts with New York “personally” he cannot be subject to the jurisdiction of this Court. These arguments are flawed.
First, it is well established that in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, the minimum contacts analysis should evaluate the defendant’s contacts with the United States as a whole, not merely contacts with the forum state. See Madoff, 418 B.R. at 79; Enron Corp., 316 B.R. at 445; Deak & Co., 63 B.R. 422, 430-31 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1986). Thus, Marengére’s contention that he has insufficient contacts with the state of New York, ignoring contacts in Florida, fails to apply the appropriate the legal standard. Accordingly, Marengére’s extensive contacts with the United States are more than sufficient to establish personal jurisdiction.
Second, Marengére’s argument that the Court has personal jurisdiction over him in his capacity as the Debtor’s purported director, but not in his individual capacity is without merit or legal basis. This argument is particularly disingenuous given that, at the Abstention Hearing, Marengére testified that he signed the Bo-zel Governance Agreement in his capacity “personally,” in his capacity as the shareholder of Wellgate, and in his capacity as the “administrateur delegué ” of the Debt- or. (Hr’g. Tr. 242, Def. Ex. E, Article 9, June 24, 2010.) Further, Marengére cites no case law in support of this alleged distinction between his individual capacity and his capacity as the Debtor’s purported director. His argument essentially relies on the fiduciary shield doctrine, which submits that it is unfair to subject a defendant to suit in a forum where the defendant’s only contacts were for the benefit of the employer, not the defendant personally. See Marine Midland Bank, N.A. v. Miller, 664 F.2d 899, 902 (2d Cir.1981). This doctrine, however, is not relevant to the constitutional due process analysis and relates only to the reach of state long-arm statutes. See id. at 902-03 n. 3 (stating the fiduciary shield doctrine is not a constitutional principle); In re Teknek, LLC, 354 B.R. 181, 195 (Bankr.N.D.Ill.2006) (same). Furthermore, the state of New York has expressly rejected this rule as unnecessary as a matter of fairness, and undesirable as a matter of public policy, since fairness concerns are “amply protected by constitutional due process requisites.” Kreutter v. McFadden Oil Corp., 71 N.Y.2d 460, 527 N.Y.S.2d 195, 522 N.E.2d 40, 45-46 (1988).
Although status as a corporate officer does not automatically subject a defendant to personal jurisdiction in any forum where the company is subject to jurisdiction, the Supreme Court has recognized that a defendant’s status as an employee or corporate officer “does not somehow insulate them from jurisdiction.” Colder, 465 U.S. at 790, 104 S.Ct. 1482. Thus, the fact that Marengére’s contacts with the United States arise from his corporate capacity does not shield him from personal jurisdiction. See id. Further, it is unreasonable for Marengére to believe *100that he could regularly conduct business in the United States and seek the protection of its laws and courts, and at the same time believe he could escape the jurisdictional reach of the United States’ courts. See Facit, Inc. v. Krueger, Inc., 732 F.Supp. 1267, 1274 (S.D.N.Y.1990). Accordingly, Marengére’s contacts are sufficiently “continuous and systematic” to establish general jurisdiction.
ii. Specific Jurisdiction
Even if Marengére’s contacts were insufficient to establish general jurisdiction, his contacts would clearly be sufficient to establish specific jurisdiction. See e.g., Madoff, 418 B.R. at 80-81; In re AstroPower Liquidating Trust, 335 B.R. 309, 317-21 (Bankr.D.Del.2005). Specific jurisdiction is proper where the action “arises out of’ the defendant’s contacts with the forum, and where the defendant “purposely availed” itself of the “privilege of conducting activities within the forum ... invoking the benefits and protections of its laws.” Helicopteros, 466 U.S. at 414 n. 8, 104 S.Ct. 1868; Madoff, 418 B.R. at 80 (quoting Hanson v. Denckla, 357 U.S. 235, 253, 78 S.Ct. 1228, 2 L.Ed.2d 1283 (1958)). Here, Marengére purposely availed himself of the privileges and laws of the United States by actively conducting business here on behalf of the Debtor and Bozel, LLC and by filing the Debtor’s Chapter 11 petition in this Court. See e.g., Madoff, 418 B.R. at 80-81. Accordingly, because this Adversary Proceeding arises out of Marengére’s duties as a corporate officer and his corresponding contacts with the United States, this Court has specific jurisdiction over him.
B. Reasonableness
In addition to the minimum contacts analysis, due process requires courts to consider the reasonableness of subjecting the defendant to personal jurisdiction to ensure that it comports with “traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.” Burger King, 471 U.S. at 476, 105 S.Ct. 2174. The Supreme Court has stated that the reasonableness inquiry involves evaluating: (1) “the burden on the defendant;” (2) “the forum[’s] ... interest in adjudicating the dispute;” and (3) “the plaintiffs interest in obtaining convenient and effective relief.” Id. at 477, 105 S.Ct. 2174 (quoting World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286, 292, 100 S.Ct. 559, 62 L.Ed.2d 490 (1980)). Additionally, in cases involving a foreign defendant, the court should also consider (4) “the procedural and substantive policies of other nations whose interests are affected by the assertion of jurisdiction;” and (5) “the Federal Government’s interest in its foreign relations policies.” In re Globo Comunicacoes Participacoes S.A., 317 B.R. 235, 257-58 (S.D.N.Y.2004) (citing Asahi, 480 U.S. at 115, 107 S.Ct. 1026).
The Supreme Court has also stated, however, that “[w]hen minimum contacts have been established, often the interests of the plaintiff and the forum in the exercise of jurisdiction will justify even the serious burdens placed on the alien defendant.” Asahi, 480 U.S. at 114, 107 S.Ct. 1026. As such, the burden shifts to Mar-engére to present a “compelling case” that establishing personal jurisdiction would be unreasonable. See Madoff, 418 B.R. at 81 (citing Burger King, 471 U.S. at 477, 105 S.Ct. 2174); AstroPower, 335 B.R. at 321 (quoting Grand Entm’t Group, Ltd. v. Star Media Sales, 988 F.2d 476, 483 (3d Cir.1993)). Marengére has failed to meet that burden.
In addition to this adversary proceeding, Marengére voluntarily filed the Debtor’s Chapter 11 petition in this Court. Because Marengére is already involved in related proceedings in this Court and fre*101quently travels to New York for business, the burden of asserting jurisdiction over him is slight. As for the next two factors, both this Court and the Plaintiff have an interest, as a matter of judicial efficiency, in resolving disputes related to the Chapter 11 petition in this forum. See Madoff, 418 B.R. at 82 (finding the United States to be the most efficient forum where there was a related pending liquidation proceeding in the same court). With respect to the factors applicable to a foreign defendant, the court in Luxembourg also has an interest in establishing jurisdiction over Marengére due to the questions of Luxembourg law present in this dispute.22 The existence of an alternate forum, however, does not necessarily require dismissal, and this factor alone does not outweigh the other considerations in this case. See Deak, 63 B.R. at 434-35 (establishing personal jurisdiction where there was an alternate, foreign forum available). Finally, there is no evidence suggesting that exercising jurisdiction will upset the foreign relations policies of the United States.
In light of the totality of the circumstances, after weighing the fairness considerations and the interests and burdens on the parties, Luxembourg’s interest does not outweigh the other considerations. Thus, exercising personal jurisdiction over Marengére is not unreasonable and does not offend “traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.”
Therefore, consistent with its ruling on June 23, 2010, the Court finds that it has personal jurisdiction over Marengére in this Adversary Proceeding.
Permissive Abstention
The Defendants argue that under § 1334(c)(1) and comity, there is good cause and extraordinary circumstances for this Court to abstain from exercising jurisdiction over the Adversary Proceeding because a parallel foreign proceeding already exists, the dispute involves foreign nationals and foreign corporations, and the dispute requires translation and interpretation of complex foreign law. The Defendants also argue that the unsettled nature of BYI and Luxembourg law must be finally decided by a Luxembourg court.
The Plaintiffs contend that this Court should exercise jurisdiction because the Defendants invoked this Court’s jurisdiction and the protection of the Bankruptcy Code, this Court has the ability to adjudicate issues of non-bankruptcy law, including foreign law, this Court has the greatest interest in the resolution of this dispute, and this Court could resolve the dispute in the timeliest manner.
28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(1) provides the statutory standard that courts must apply in evaluating the appropriateness of exercising permissive abstention:
Except with respect to a case under Chapter 15 of title 11, nothing in this section prevents a district court in the interest of justice, or in the interest of comity with State courts or respect for State law, from abstaining from hearing a particular proceeding arising under title 11 or arising in or related to a case under title 11.
28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(1) (2006).
It is widely recognized that courts have a “virtually unflagged obligation ... to exercise the jurisdiction given to them,” and the general rule is that, in the event of concurrent, parallel proceedings, courts should typically allow the proceedings to continue simultaneously, *102absent “exceptional circumstances.” Colo. River Water Conservation Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 817-18, 96 S.Ct. 1236, 47 L.Ed.2d 483 (1976) (discussing concurrent state proceedings); Madanes v. Madanes, 981 F.Supp. 241, 263 (S.D.N.Y.1997) (citing China Trade & Dev. Corp. v. M.V. Choong Yong, 837 F.2d 33, 36 (2d Cir.1987) (discussing concurrent foreign proceedings)). The movant bears the burden of establishing that permissive abstention is warranted. In re Altchek, 119 B.R. 31, 35 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1990).
While bankruptcy courts have broad discretion to abstain under § 1334, following the guidance of the Supreme Court, this circuit has recognized that abstention should only be exercised in narrow circumstances. See N.Y. City Employees’ Ret. Sys. v. Ebbers (In re WorldCom, Inc. Sec. Litig.), 293 B.R. 308, 332 (S.D.N.Y.2003); In re Cody, 281 B.R. 182, 190 (S.D.N.Y.2002). Further, bankruptcy courts are not “required to abstain from deciding issues which are of central importance to the integrity of the bankruptcy process.” Texaco Inc. v. Sanders (In re Texaco Inc.), 182 B.R. 937, 946 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1995). Some of the factors that courts have considered in evaluating whether to abstain include:23
(1) the effect or lack thereof on the efficient administration of the estate if a Court recommends abstention, (2) the extent to which state law issues predominate over bankruptcy issues, (3) the difficulty or unsettled nature of the applicable state law, (4) the presence of a related proceeding commenced in state court or other non-bankruptcy court, (5) the jurisdictional basis, if any, other than 28 U.S.C. 1334, (6) the degree of relatedness or remoteness of the proceeding to the main bankruptcy case, (7) the substance rather than form of an asserted “core” proceeding, (8) the feasibility of severing state law claims from core bankruptcy matters to allow judgments to be entered in state court with enforcement left to the bankruptcy court, (9) the burden of the court’s docket, in addition to other factors.
Cody, 281 B.R. at 190-91.
While § 1334(c)(1) does not apply to comity with foreign forums on its face because the plain text of the statute refers to comity with “state courts” with respect to “state law,” some courts have extended the statute to foreign proceedings under the doctrine international comity or forum non conviens. See Baumgart v. Fairchild Aircraft Corp., 981 F.2d 824, 832-33 (5th Cir.1993); In re Regus Business Centre Corp., 301 B.R. 122, 128-29 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2003). In Baumgart, the court stated that because the statute is viewed as codifying federal abstention doctrines,
[I]t does not follow that Congress would expressly allow the federal district courts to defer by abstention to state courts 'in the interest of justice,’ but would at the same time implicitly divest them of their inherent power to abstain when the interest of justice would be served by a case being heard in a foreign tribunal where the action arose.
Baumgart, 981 F.2d at 833.
This Court agrees with the rationale articulated in Baumgart and finds that § 1334(c)(1) is applicable in this case.
For the reasons discussed below, the Court finds that the Defendants have failed to meet their burden of establishing the existence of “exceptional circumstances” for this Court to abstain from *103exercising jurisdiction over the Adversary Proceeding.
First, there is no dispute that the Luxembourg Proceedings constitute “parallel foreign proceedings” to the Adversary Proceeding because they involve identical parties and legal issues. The Luxembourg Court ruled in favor of the Plaintiffs in the Summary Proceeding in an order dated July 1, 2010 (the “July 1, 2010 Order”),24 denying Marengére’s request to temporarily suspend the Shareholder Resolution declaring the Liquidator as the sole director of the Debtor pending the Commercial Proceeding.25 (Statement/Notice of Filing of Order of The Luxembourg District Court, ECF No. 21, Ex. B.) The parties have informed the Court that they are scheduled to file pleadings in the Commercial Proceeding in October 2010 and expect the court to enter a decision in that proceeding in November 2010.26
A. Efficient Administration of the Debt- or’s Chapter 11 Case
The mere existence of an alternative forum is insufficient cause for a court to exercise permissive abstention, particularly when deferring to an alternate forum could negatively impact the administration of a debtor’s Chapter 11 case. The July 1, 2010 Order is prima facie evidence that the Liquidator properly exercised his corporate governance powers under Luxembourg law; however, a final resolution on this issue will not be reached by the Luxembourg Court for at least another five months. In the interim, the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case will be left completely stagnant as it has been since the Petition Date if this Court abstains from exercising jurisdiction over the Adversary Proceeding. Virtually no development has been made in the Debtor’s reorganization, including any potential debtor-in-possession financing or even the retention of the Debtor’s proposed bankruptcy counsel.
In addition, a final adjudication of who should be in control of the Debtor is also pertinent to and in the best interest of the Bozel Subsidiaries. The Bozel Subsidiaries are profitable operating companies that are the Debtor’s only valuable assets. Due to the corporate governance dispute, *104the Debtor’s sole shareholder has been unable to obtain important information regarding the operations of the Bozel Subsidiaries and the Bozel Subsidiaries have received conflicting directives from Maren-gére and the Liquidator. A timely final adjudication of this issue is critical to maintaining operational stability and maximizing value for the Bozel Subsidiaries. Moreover, once the Debtor’s management is ascertained, it is likely that the Debtor would no longer need a Chapter 11 examiner, thereby saving the estate unnecessary administrative expenses. As this Court is presiding over the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case and has become familiar with the facts, legal issues, and applicable law relating to the corporate governance dispute, it is in the best interest of the Debtor and the Bozel Subsidiaries for this Court to finally adjudicate this matter.
Accordingly, the efficient administration of the Debtor’s estate factor weighs heavily in favor of not exercising abstention.
B. Difficulty or Unsettled Nature of Applicable Law
For purposes of permissive abstention, the Court need not determine with certainty all points of Luxembourg law. Although the two experts, Ms. Marlen Watté-Bollen (“Ms.Watté”) and Mr. Pierre Olivier-Wurth (“Mr.Wurth”), rendered divergent opinions on the potential outcome of the Luxembourg Proceedings, the record reflects that they agree on multiple applicable legal principles that are adequate in resolving the dispute in this case. For example, both experts agreed on the established concept of “universality of bankruptcy,” which stands for the proposition that foreign bankruptcy decisions are enforceable in Luxembourg with the same capacity, enforceability, and effect as their respective jurisdiction, so long as those foreign decisions are not fundamentally at odds with Luxembourg notions of public order. The experts also agree that one exception to this principle is when a foreign receiver engages in actual enforcement actions, in which case an exequatur, also known as an enforcement order or a domestication order, must first be obtained.27 Significantly, not only do the experts agree on this exception, but they relied on the same doctrine in support of their opinions, namely a treatise, “Bankruptcy in Luxembourg’s Private International Laws,” by Patrick Kinsch (the “Kinsch Article”).28 The fact that they arrived at different legal conclusions based on the Kinsch Article is not so much a reflection of the unsettled nature of the law, but their different interpretations and application of Luxembourg law as stated in the Kinsch Article.29
*105A crucial issue in this dispute is whether the Bozel Governance Agreement is controlling or void as contrary to public policy under Luxembourg law. On this point, both Mr. Wurth and Ms. Watté agree that, as a matter of general principle, shareholders’ right to appoint and revoke directors is fundamental and absolute due to its public nature. (Hr’g Trans. 68, June 23, 2010; Wurth Decl., Pi’s Trial Brief Ex. A ¶¶ 19-20.) Based on this settled principle, Mr. Wurth opines that the Bozel Governance Agreement is not enforceable as a matter of Luxembourg public policy because it has the effect of divesting shareholders’ absolute right to remove Maren-gére as the administrateur-délégué of the Debtor. (Wurth Deck, Pi’s Trial Brief Ex. A. ¶ 22.) In support of his opinion, Mr. Wurth cites two Luxembourg court decisions, one of which held that a provision requiring an advance notification period of one year before a shareholder could terminate a director was annulled, while the other held that a provision requiring an advance notification of six months and an indemnification in the amount of 51,048.60 is annulled. (Suppl. Wurth Deck, PI. Reply Trial Brief Ex. I (Ex. D.)) The rationale underlying both court decisions is that such provisions obstruct the principle of ad nutum revocation and unduly limit shareholders from exercising such right. (Id.) The Defendants argue that these two cases are inapplicable because they relate to contract provisions that are different from the contract provisions at issue in this case. While it is true that the provisions in the two cases relate to notice periods and not a shareholder’s waiver of right to revoke directors in the event of bankruptcy, the underlying legal principle is applicable to the dispute at issue. In the two decisions, the Luxembourg courts clearly articulated the holding that provisions in a private shareholder agreement, to the extent that they divest shareholders’ right of ad nu-tum revocation, are annulled. In fact, the relevant provisions in the Bozel Governance Agreement, which suspends a shareholder’s right to remove Marengére as the administrateur-délégué during the pen-dency of Wellgate’s insolvency proceeding is a more severe derogation of the right of ad nutum revocation than the notice period provisions in the Luxembourg cases cited by Mr. Wurth.
Despite acknowledging the settled principle of shareholder’s right of ad nutum revocation, Ms. Watté nonetheless opines that the law in this area is unsettled because private shareholder agreements, in general, are accepted by Luxembourg courts. (Hr’g Trans. 62, June 23, 2010.) She also contends that since there has been no case law with respect to provisions in shareholder agreements relating to the revocation and appointment of directors, it is uncertain how a court would rule in this case. (Id. at 69.) In forming this conclusion, Ms. Watté points to no contrary legal *106principle in Luxembourg jurisprudence.30
In light of the evidence presented, the Court finds Mr. Wurth’s expert opinion to be credible and the Luxembourg Court’s July 2010 Order amply demonstrates the validity of Mr. Wurth’s presentation of Luxembourg corporate law as applied to the facts of this case. Significantly, the July 1, 2010 Order found that there is no need to take into account the Bozel Governance Agreement to the extent that it contradicts the sole shareholder’s right of free revocation.
Thus, contrary to the Defendants’ assertion that Luxembourg law at issue is completely uncertain, complex, and difficult to interpret, the Court finds that the record sufficiently establishes applicable and settled legal principles of Luxembourg law for this Court to adjudicate the dispute in the Adversary Proceeding. Therefore, the difficulty and unsettled nature of applicable law factor also weighs against abstention.
C. The Court’s Interest in the Adversary Proceeding
While Luxembourg has an interest in the corporate governance matters relating to an entity incorporated under the law of its jurisdiction, that interest is outweighed by this Court’s interest in this particular Adversary Proceeding because the resolution of the dispute is quintessential to the administration of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case. This is particularly true in light of the inconsistent positions that the Defendants have taken by choosing this forum for the Debtor’s Chapter 11, while urging this Court to abstain and in effect delay resolution of a central issue that must be resolved before the Debtor could effectively reorganize. As the Debtor purposefully availed itself of the protection of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, it must be held accountable for its choice of forum and, in good faith, fulfill its obligation in administering the Chapter 11 case.
In light of the background and procedural posture of this case and the Debtor’s voluntary filing of its Chapter 11 case, this Court, rather than the Luxembourg Court has a greater interest in timely adjudicating the Adversary Proceeding. International Comity
Alternatively, the principle of international comity is defined by the Supreme Court:
“Comity” in the legal sense, is neither a matter of absolute obligation, on the one hand, nor of mere courtesy and good will, upon the other. But it is the recognition which one nation allows within its territory to the legislative, executive or judicial acts of another nation, having due regard both to international duty and convenience, and to the rights of its citizens or of other person who are under the protection of its laws.
Hilton v. Guyot, 159 U.S. 113, 164, 16 S.Ct. 139, 40 L.Ed. 95 (1895).
Under this principle, a district court, in its discretion, may decline to exercise jurisdiction under certain circumstances in deference to the laws and interest of a foreign nation. Societe Nationale Industrielle Aerospatiale v. U.S. Dist. Court, 482 U.S. 522, 543 n. 27, 107 S.Ct. 2542, 96 L.Ed.2d 461 (1987). Although the exact contours of this doctrine are rather vague, courts have understood the under*107lying goal of international comity to be “maintaining amicable working relationships between nations.” J.P. Morgan Chase Bank v. Altos Hornos de Mexico S.A. de C.V., 412 F.3d 418, 423 (2d Cir.2005).31
The 11th Circuit has articulated three goals upon which a court’s analysis of international comity should be guided by: “(1) a proper level of respect for the acts of our fellow sovereign nations .... (2) fairness to litigants; and (3) efficient use of scarce judicial resources.” Turner Entm’t Co. v. Degeto Film GmbH, 25 F.3d 1512, 1518 (11th Cir.1994). On the other hand, the doctrine is inappropriate if extending comity to a foreign proceeding would be contrary to the public policy of the United States. See Pravin Banker Assocs. v. Banco Popular Del Peru, 109 F.3d 850, 854 (2d Cir.1997); Cunard S.S. Co. v. Salen Reefer Servs. AB, 773 F.2d 452, 457 (2d Cir.1985) (finding that in order to grant comity, a court must determine that the foreign jurisdiction abide by fundamental standards of procedural fairness).
With respect to international comity, there is no evidence that the Court’s adjudication of this case would offend comity of courts or negatively impact the amicable working relationship between the U.S. and Luxembourg. In fact, it is not uncommon for U.S. courts to apply foreign law under the appropriate circumstances. See e.g., Bigio v. Coca-Cola, 448 F.3d 176 (2d Cir.2006); United States v. Schultz, 333 F.3d 393 (2d Cir.2003); Karaha Bodas Co., v. Perusahaan Pertambangan Minyak Dan Gas Bumi Negara, 313 F.3d 70 (2d Cir.2002).
Neither is it inequitable nor burdensome for the Defendants to defend the Adversary Proceeding in this Court since they must regularly appear before this Court to administer the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case. To the contrary, it would be inequitable to the Plaintiffs and a waste of judicial resources for this Court to abstain at these late stages of the Adversary Proceeding when trial pleadings in Luxembourg will not even be filed in the Commercial Proceeding until October 2010.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court will not exercise permissive abstention in this case. As the Court is not abstaining, the Debtors’ request for a stay of the Adversary Proceeding pending resolution of the Luxembourg Proceedings is moot.
Conclusion
In sum, the Court finds that (1) Chapter 15 is not applicable in this case; hence, the Liquidator has standing to commence the Adversary Proceeding; (2) Crastvell has standing to intervene in the Adversary Proceeding pursuant to § 1109; (3) the Court has personal jurisdiction over Mar-engére; thus, the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendant Marengére is DENIED; (4) upon considering the totality of the circumstances, the Court finds that the facts of this case weigh against abstention. Therefore, the Court will retain jurisdiction of the Adversary Proceeding, and the Defendant’s Motion for Permissive Abstention on the grounds of § 1334(c)(1) and comity, or in the alternative, a stay of the Adversary Proceeding pending resolution of the Luxembourg Proceedings, is DENIED.
