| Selected Speeches |
| Haile Selassie the First - March 28, 1962 |
One of Our principal aims for Our people in being always to develop
industry in Our country, it gives us pleasure to visit once more the
Indo-Ethiopian Textile Factory, an undertaking that We have watched with
interest from its very beginning, and one which as We have stated on
previous occasions, is a fruitful example of bi-national co-operation.
As Mr. Jada just said, not only is this factory an example in co-operation,
it is as well one of rapid success, for in less than two years after its birth,
it has expanded to the extent that it has doubled its capacity. On this basis
We have no doubt that the new projects in hand of producing rayon
products and others will equally come to fruition.
The importance of the industrial sector of Ethiopia's economy could never
be over-emphasized. This is why We have spent so much effort in
encouraging the establishment of enterprises of this and other natures in
Our country, for the employment and the utilization of Our natural
resources in the industrial process would aid immensely in raising further
the standard of living of the people, one of Our cardinal aims.
We are very pleased to see a large number of people, men and women
alike, employed here and engaged in discharge a role that earns them their
livelihood.
It is also apparent that in guaranteeing their welfare and rendering them
moral support, the hospital that is about to be built for them will inevitably
bring about a praise-worthy result.
Birla Brothers, the Board of Directories, the Management and all those
who have worked together for the success of this Indo-Ethiopian Textile
Factory should be complimented for a job well done. In expressing Our
congratulations on the present accomplishments, it is Our hope that the
Company would grow yet further and continue to make its contribution to
the development of Ethiopia's economy.
