Perth — Speaking during the conclusion of the Commonwealth Business Forum in Perth, Australia, yesterday, President Paul Kagame said that the goals of business and governments are increasingly becoming inseparable and that only business, trade and private sector investment have the potential to improve lives and create prosperity for all. He encouraged government leaders to let business leaders take a more central role in enhancing the public- private partnerships model.
"I sometimes reckon that we, political leaders, should take a back seat and allow business leaders to be the drivers of innovation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation. Governments' focus should largely be to carry out necessary investment, business and trade-related reforms and generally create an environment that allows businesses to flourish," he said.
