    : An Industrial Kupesi must be created, that does not destroy the local confidence with too many items in the "too hard basket", but will kindle and enhance the Tongan peoples' creativities and innovation, their lateral thinking, their "ta‘efieto" attitude and hard work to make it happen. If we continue with this approach to industrial development then we are halfway there because the driving energy and inspiration I am talking about, must come from the minds and the hearts of the Tongan people.
