In my view, the idea of diaspora business people... --- as part of the advisory group is very appealing. Because they will bring to the Group ideas based on practice and experience from both the home country and the host state. They are also able to advice on which areas/sectors of the economy to target between the two countries (for inbound and outbound investment/trade) based on the comparative advantage. Diaspora business people can also be part of joint investment ventures. Their inclusion into the Advisory Group can therefore assist the Embassy´s promotional work to be more strategic and focused..
