Mr President, we welcome the emphasis in your response on the retention of jobs through the training schemes, as well as the emphasis on international forums getting together and reaching a collective response in this matter. Even more welcome is the pointing out to us of the opportunity to develop regional infrastructure in Africa and so encourage investments, identify resources and encourage investment in that way.
My question, hon President, as I am sure you appreciate as well because it comes out here implicitly, is that the greatest victim in this economic crisis has been jobs. Indeed the current trading environment and challenges we are faced with have had a very big negative impact on this for all countries. What would be very useful perhaps is to hear from you, Mr President, how you would encourage our business parties within South Africa or within our social compact, if you like, as well as encourage our investors and indeed the other partners and members in the World Trade Organisation, WTO, to actually come to the party in a collective response? Thank you.
