“Not only solving issues in the country, it’s important to consider the ideas of the expertise as well when solving issues of the Ports Authority. We have already appointed an advisory panel regarding the marine industry. Advice from the expertise is important when getting assistances for other factors as well, not only regarding the marine industry. But, in the past there was no such culture. We took over a corrupted society on the 8th of January.”
