...In the industrial field, as well, development has proceeded satisfactorily.
New factories have been opened. Koka Dam is providing cheaper
electrical power to Our people and will stimulate further industrialization.
Work is proceeding on schedule for the survey of the waters of the Blue
Nile and plans are being carried forward for the development of the Awash
and Webi Shebelli valleys. A contract has been concluded for the
utilization of a portion of the credit granted by the Federal People's
Republic of Yugoslavia for the construction of a modern cement plant near
Addis Ababa.
There are numerous other projects which, while still in the planning stage,
will be commenced during the coming year. Among these, we would
single out for particular mention Our plans for the construction of the new
town at Bahar Dar. This town is being planned with the assistance of
experts provided by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany,
and will include schools, hospitals, industrial plants and all modern
facilities. In implementation of the magnanimous gesture made to Us
during Our state visit to the Soviet Union, a technical high school for 1000
students will be constructed at Bahar Dar as the gift of the Government of
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics....
