She added: “As part of KIPCO’s business philosophy, we seek ways to support young people as they graduate and take on the opportunities available to them in different business sectors. This is why it is important for us to interact with students such as yourselves, who are being educated in some of the world’s best universities, and to understand how to utilize your knowledge and international exposure to achieve greater levels of success at the personal, business and national levels.”
