 We can help opportunity grow. What has truly shifted is that people feel a sense of ownership for their country no longer as observers but as actors. The revolutions of 2011 were about what people didn't want and now we're looking at the progress that has been made. Where are we now? Political and economic reform go hand in hand. The state of the Middle Eastern of Africa economy touches every country in the region. It revolves around partnerships for employment, entrepreneurship and infrastructure. We need to create jobs now. Existing companies are going to have to become regional or global leaders. We will only make lasting progress by recognizing that we may be different but we are interdependent. We are all affected by the tragic developments in Syria. The world economic reform on the Middle Eastern of Africa will be about realism and responding to the needs of society. If we work together we can make a future worthy of our great people.
