“ What a brilliant forum it was, and an excellent occasion for the free spirits, where many of the independent thinkers and doers, as well as the great political and economic minds, of the world across states and fields gathered together to reflect upon the vital role played by both creation and innovation in the current state of the art!
I wonder if Tonga was ever represented in this great World Economic Forum at least as a mere observer, especially in having a critical familiarisation and appreciation of the key role of creation and innovation in both the political and economic affairs led by inquiry and research as opposed to mere imitation and repetition, informed by a sense of dependency mentality.
What I mean is that Tonga, by actively, reflectively and attentively involved in this great occasion, should not "cut and paste" things but rather "test and taste" them, with a view to mediate these ideas, alongside the local physical and social environments, and not to impose external ideologies on the local situation, as in the ongoing problematic wholesale imposition of democracy and capitalism on Tonga. ”
