| Haile Selassie the First - December 24, 1966 |
... We are happy to witness, from one day to the next, the realization of
our fervent wish that new industries be established in Ethiopia. As
education is the gate which opens the way to develoment and progress, so
is industrialization one of the principal paths to be followed to te
achievement of these goals.
The improvement and expansion of agriculture and cattle-breeding which
have been accomplished with the assistance of modern education should
not be underestimated. These fields comprise the basis of Our people's
livelihood, and advances in these have been badly needed and hard-won.
Education is also essential to industrial growth. So too, is co-operation
with friendly nations vital, and we are gratified at the number of joint
endeavours being undertaken in various areas of industry.
This nylon factory, the third project inagurated by Us in recent weeks in
which Japanese capital and skills have been enlisted, is further testimony
to the ever-strengthening relations which exist between Ethiopia and the
friendly nation of Japan. Each new project is welcomed as a further step
taking Us closer to Our goal.
It is our desire that Ethiopia become self-sufficient both quantitatively and
qualitatively, in meeting her textile needs. We are confident that Our
efforts will in the not too distant future bring this wish to fulfilment.
We are also encouraged that increasing numbers of Ethiopians are actively
participating in this and other industrial projects. As Ethiopian skills and
know-how increase, as Ethiopian abilities are more fully developed, Our
people will attain a greater and more complete mastery of the intricacies of
modern technical and administrative techniques and methods.
We wish this enterprise a successful and prosperous life.
