It is always a
pleasant moment to attend the Annual Fashion Show of the students and staff of
the Fashion and Design Institute – an event which displays the originality,
innovativeness and creativity of our young people.I congratulate
all the participants, the staff and the organizers for mounting the show. I would like to
take this opportunity to pay tribute to all the academic staff for their
dedication to fashion and design and their contribution to the training and
developing skills of our young people. We must continue to strengthen our human
resource development and boost our profile as an Innovative and Creative Nation.
