<Comment from Suzuki’s President, Toshihiro Suzuki>

“With the economic growth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we expect the popularization of cars, which will lead to increase in demand for after-sales services and auto mechanics. Therefore, I am confident that the importance of auto mechanic training by INPP will grow. With the cars always running in good condition, and through improvement of mobility and traffic safety, I wish that the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo can live comfortably with peace of mind.”
