“We must ind ways to create more employment and business opportunities
for the new generation in the next 10 to 20 years. Besides, we must also
anticipate other factors that will emerge in the later stage of development.
For this reason, both the public and private sectors, must build their capacity
to serve. They must have greater enforcement of talents or new skills in their
