| Haile Selassie the First - November 16, 1965 |
... We require knowledge and assistance from abroad; Ethiopia's energies
were for long centuries concentrated on her physical protection. The
never-ending struggle to safeguard their freedom deprived the nation's
youth of the opportunity to study peace instead of war. Today, we
require skills and techniques beyond our present capacity to provide, and
we look to the assistance of foreign experts and technicians to bridge the
gap. So, too, do we look for foreign capital investment and as a natural
and normal concomitant, the managers and the professional personnel
skilled in the ways of modern industry and business life. With training and
education and experience, Ethiopians will in the near future supply all of
the needs of the nation. But today, those who are prepared to aid us in our
endeavours, who are here at our request and desire, are welcome
collegues and collaborators. Our visits to highly-developed nations abroad
have persuaded Us that in this same fashion those countries have adapted
and used this experience and learning of others for their own benefit.....
