    "content": "We agree, foreign policy is a critical component of the growth of our economy and the protection of our national interest. When you look at the interconnectedness and commitment among States, then you realise that this is pivotal in respect to both international trade, goods and services and also the interaction between the people of different places. This becomes much more important when you look at where we are globally with the advent of globalisation like two decades ago. It is a challenge now because of COVID-19 and has been tested in terms of how you look at the world from a village perspective. For instance, manufacturing tyres in one country, the key in another country, the bonnet in another country and bringing all those parts together to create a car. With COVID-19, it has brought all those challenges. The supply chain has been affected by the lockdowns. Noting that we are living in this global village, then our ambassadors become the focal point or the entry point through which we interact with the rest of the world. If you are not good enough or you do not have the policy or the backing of the law to sustain and make sure your work is good, then we will not benefit from the advantages of this globalisation and the global economy."
