And to achieve this, there are practically just 2 ways. Firstly, we need to strengthen our economic and commercial ties, and secondly we need to win the confidence of the <strong>International business community</strong>. They have to see us not only as poor and needy, but realise our potential as the market of the future. What is that we do not possess – cheap land, manpower, natural resources. Probably it’s the invisible things like initiative, confidence or concentration. Why is that major international industrialists moving there facilities to countries like China or India and not <strong>Africa</strong>. We certainly have everything avilable at a cheaper price. We strongly feel that if there is something that can take us ahead, it is the <strong>development of business</strong> in the region. More <strong>businesses</strong>, more jobs, more money for better economy. The kind of words we have ever been associated with are poverty, violence, aid and corruption. It is time we get familiar with words like peace, prosperity, development and recognition.</p> <p align="justify">Introduction and objectives of <strong>ABDAS</strong>:</p> <p><strong>ABDAS</strong> is an independent voluntary association that actively promotes Industry and Commerce by encouraging the establishment of new businesses, regional and international.
