In this publication Belgian achievers worked together to bring their unique stories to all corners of the earth. As publishers we also express our gratitude to Brussels Export, Flanders Investment & Trade, AWEX (Walloon Export Agency), the Federal Agency for Foreign Trade (organizer of the royal trade missions) and the Federal Public Service of Foreign Affairs for their support in distributing this publication around the world. ‘Best of Belgium’ will also go out to our colleagues in the Global Village Partnerships network, from Dubai and Singapore to Australia and South Africa.

Best of Ethiopia
“‘Best of Ethiopia’ offers a vision of the country’s future whilst profiling its past and progress.”
This serves as a promotion and showcase of the country and its vast opportunities – sharing the best of Ethiopian business, agriculture, industry, governance and tourism to the world.”
Located in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is an ancient and fascinating land. Its history and heritage are rich and her people are deeply rooted in religion and culture. The landscape offers stark variations between arid plains, mountains and pasture land. As an agrarian yet rapidly developing nation, Ethiopia is constantly diversifying and implementing improvements in ease-of-business and governance.
Home to the African Union and various other high level international organisations including the Pan African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PACCI), Ethiopia is viewed as a pinnacle of diplomacy in Africa and had good relations with a vast majority of nations with which it interacts. As Africa’s oldest independent country and holding Africa’s second largest population, Ethiopia is one of Africa’s fasted growing non-oil economies.
It is at this exciting time of development and growth that we capture the spirit of Ethiopia in the inaugural edition of ‘Best of Ethiopia’. It is only through the stories of the people and their successes that the whole picture can be shared. Although suffering numerous periods of drought, the Ethiopian people have repeatedly proven their resilience. This inspiring characteristic of the nation has seemingly cultivated a spirit of industry and entrepreneurship, kindled by the pride of her people.

Kuwait has drawn upon the accumulated wisdom of countries around the world to power its own growth. In due course with the discovery of oil, within just a few decades a nation of fisherman and traders revolutionised into one of the wealthiest and most established nations of the world. The state is highly esteemed around the world due to enrichments offered by the state-of-art, secure infrastructural facilities and specialisation.
The rise in the inimitable identity of the Kuwaitis lies within the historic pride, heritage and national progress – an identity which is worthy of emulation by all nations in the world.
The traditions remain the same with the passing centuries. The country has rejuvenated, but the bond with the heritage remains.

Best of Mozambique
“Best of Mozambique’ successfully promotes and showcases the country and all its opportunities. The beauty of its land coupled with bountiful natural, historical and cultural heritage have brought Mozambique into a season of prosperity, stability and growth.
In these pages we display and share the best of Mozambican business, industry and tourism through impressive imagery”.
This is a visual celebration of Mozambique’s achievements and successes. Not only does ‘Best of Mozambique’ capture the history and age-old journey of this land, but it offers a glimpse into the country’s future. After years of turmoil and strife, Mozambique is finally poised in a position to reap all that has been sown towards its recovery into prosperity. The land has been blessed with natural gas fields – some of the largest reserves in the world.
The delicacy with which the government is handling these reserves, will prove beneficial to the country’s economic growth in years to come. While we await the unfolding of these outcomes, we present what we have captured of this incredible growth story – through a showcase of the pride of the Mozambican nation.
Best of Namibia
We are proud to announce Best of Namibia as the latest in our collection of prestigious books. Namibia has continuously proved itself to be more than worthy of warranting a compilation such as this. Not only is it one of the most peaceful countries in Africa, which enjoyed a smooth transition into democracy, but it’s also one of the most enchanting.
We have tried to capture as much of this enchantment in the pages that follow. This country of stark contrasts has produced some magnificent imagery, which seems to tell the story of its age-old mysticism. Namibia’s land is beautiful and fascinating and it has also yielded some of the most astounding diamonds in the world. Beneath the surface of her soils, lie many spoils awaiting discovery. However, the practicality of the government is such that there is a current ongoing diversification of the economy.
Tourism is held in high regard for obvious reasons, so are land cultivation, transport and shipping. The latter makes the most of the ideal situation of the country – being on the trade route to the Cape of Good Hope, as well as having a prime linkage to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Angola. As a result, Namibia has always strived to ensure good relations with their SADC counterparts and has many important foreign policies. That said, although the government highly values the vital relationships they have forged, there is a concerted effort to ensure more economic independence instead of relying heavily on imports.
Best of Nigeria
We are proud and excited to introduce “Best of Nigeria” to the world.
These books has been a long time in the making – but the time for a project of this kind has never been so relevant. Yes, there is no denying that Nigeria has suffered from years of turmoil, of which the effects are still being felt; but there too is a fresh movement rising to the surface above the simmering tension.
A renewed excitement and faith in the country which will see it rise to become the biggest economy on the African continent – and vying for a superpower position.
Best of Rwanda
“Best of Rwanda offers a glimpse into the country’s future. It is a promotion and showcase of the country and its opportunities – sharing the best of Rwandan business, industry and tourism to the world.”
This landlocked Central African country is often referred to as the “land of a thousand hills” – alluding to the beauty of its landscape.
During President Paul Kagame’s first term, Rwanda made unprecedented socio-economic and political progress. After a history of suffering, the consolidation of peace led to stability and social cohesion among the people of Rwanda. President Kagame was re-elected for a second term in 2010. This term has been founded on a platform of rapid development for the transformation of the lives of all Rwandans.
As President Paul Kagame has always said, it is time for Africans to start telling their own stories themselves; the Best of Rwanda is positioned to do just that. Rwanda is a modest example of the kind of miracle that can be expected when good leadership meets with committed people.
Best of Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is a country of great transformational change.
As the world’s largest oil exporter, its economy has emerged into a leading regional and global power house. Despite its vast resources, it would not be precise to attribute all the success to its natural wealth. Through its dynamic socio-economic diversification process, Saudi Arabia has moved from dependency on Oil & Gas alone and tapped into a scale of sectors to secure its stability and multiply its future growth.
This success is tangible today, where within four years, the economy of Saudi Arabia has doubled. BEST OF KINGDOM of Saudi Arabia celebrates the innovation, sustainability and excellence of the Saudi business and leisure scene. It recognises those organisations, companies and acclaimed individuals that are leading this progress and developing the multi-sector business prospects this country has to offer.
Best of Sharjah
Sharjah: Shrine of the Muses
“Sharjah is home to one of the best museums in the world – the Sharjah Art Museum – and no one
knows about it, no one goes to it; it’s unbelievable,” mused world-renowned artist Sacha Jafri on a recent trip to the UAE. “Sharjah Art Museum has exhibited work by some of the greatest artists of the last century and no one has been, despite the fact that it’s considered one of the top ten art museums in the world. This needs to change.” Members of the Sharjah Museums Department would argue that this is changing, albeit gradually.

Best of Soweto
The renowned mega-township of Soweto is photosynthesizing in the spotlight which was cast over it during the 2010 FIFA Football World Cup™. This bright light has continued to shine long after the final whistle was blown – the growth is of Soweto’s own accord.
Here in ‘Best of Soweto’, we aim to capture some of this light and share it with the rest of the world. There are many opportunities arising out of Soweto – and its people are reveling in it. A township which has endured immense strife and hardship since its racial inception, Soweto has flourished into a place of colour and vibrancy.
Whilst this is difficult to capture in the pages of a book, we owe it to Sowetans to attempt it and ensure the legacy lives.
Soweto has always been an offshoot of Johannesburg City, but with talks of forming a separate municipality for Soweto, the township is increasingly standing on its own as a fully functional city. Its many achievements are most commendable.
We can offer you a small flavour of the township through a showcase of those who have made it what it is today. As a result, we bring to you the success stories of ordinary and iconic Sowetans, and their businesses. In this way we can capture their collective enterprising spirit which has allowed them to rise through struggles with determination.
