“The idea of the summit of this nature is try and look at what went wrong in the last 16 years, what went right, you know, how we can, you know, transform our country, our economy, and where we can, you know, set foundation so that you know, after four years, you know, if whoever is in government has this baseline, you know, strategy and ideas to deal with.”
