INNOVATION IS KEY
It is widely believed that one of the core attributes of transformational national leadership is to be able to chart a course for progressive prosperity and positive national transformation. It is true that national Leadership needs continuous atonement to the needs, desires and expectations of the populace, when the expectations of the people are unmet, leadership stands at the forefront of blame and citizen’s distrust, it for this reason that it is important to regularly bring leadership and the populace together to take stock, identify bottlenecks and mutually propose ways for socio-economic development going forward-India COMESA Trade Council seeks to do just this.
Decision Making Process
