A trade Agreement signed in August last year laid the groundwork for one of the objectives of our visit to your country, namely the promotion of trade and investment links between our two business communities. An expansion of economic activity on a spectacular scale is within our reach. If achieved it will contribute to the development of our countries and to the upliftment of the quality of life of our peoples. As countries at similar stages of development, we have much to offer one other in the way of relevant technology and exchange of skills. I believe that we can look to the future not only with enthusiasm, but with confidence.
Circumstances are extremely propitious.
May our countries prosper through mutually beneficial co-operation and may relations between our peoples flourish. I thank you.
