"We
are interested in comprehensive development indices because, first, they are
internationally recognised, and because they are produced by highly-credible
international institutes; second, they help governments in addressing the
weaknesses and failures in the performance of some developmental sectors and
relating activities; third, we seek the top places but in this quest we never
sought fame or record numbers or tried to just outrun others."
"The
success of our country was not because of mere chance, but as a result of the
leadership's vision, planning and keen interest in serving the country and its
citizens. It is a result of continuous interaction between different
generations and the unique relation of trust and allegiance between the people
and their leader."
"We
have a lot to accomplish and we have no excuse for any delays or poor
performance. We have what it takes to achieve as we are blessed with rich
resources, capabilities, expertise, positive energy, thirst for knowledge,
dedication and above all, the leadership's unlimited support."
