Respect of people's human, democratic rights said vital to build capitalist economy

 Addis Ababa, August 14 (ENA)--The respect of people's human and democratic rights was indispensable for the establishment of a sturdy capitalist economic system in the country, Minister of Economic Development and Cooperation said.

  Girma Birru told ENA recently that the respect of people's constitutional rights to self-determination up to session was helpful in jointly and equally utilize the nation's resources. 

 The equitable utilization of the country's resources in turn consolidates the people's solidarity and lays a fertile ground for the establishment of a robust capitalist economic system, the Minister said.

  He said the recognition and respect of the languages and cultures of nations and nationalities was a key element in the process of building a strong economy.

  Given the existing reality of the country, revolutionary democracy was more suitable than liberal democracy to fully ensure the rights of nations and nationalities, Girma said.
