Let me introduce something brand new to you. That's “New
TICAD,” born in Nairobi and growing by leaps and bounds.
Our New TICAD is a magnificent “double E, double I”
springboard.
It is a partnership that lifts to greater heights the double E’s of
“entrepreneurship” and “enterprise,” along with the double I’s of
“investment” and “innovation.”
I make this pledge to you. The Government of Japan will put
forth every possible effort so that the power of Japanese private
investment of 20 billion dollars in three years should, in the
years to come, be surpassed anew from one day to the next.
