...We know that the zeal and vigor with which all Our people labour to preserve their lives and increase their standard of living can bear fruit only when adequate communications facilities are afforded them, and We have accordingly given special priority to this subject. A nation cannot prosper unless it has overcome the problems of communications. Without communications, agriculture cannot develop, nor can commerce or industry thrive. It is communications that relates and binds people together by ties of friendship.
Haile Selassie I Nov. 2, 1960
