French president aims at 'new industrial France'


Paris, Sep 13 (IANS): French President Francois Hollande unveiled his 10-year roadmap to inject fresh blood into the waning domestic industrial business by focusing on new technologies and innovative sectors.

Denouncing a "lost decade" of his Conservative predecessors in which industrial businesses lost 750,000 jobs, Holalnde promised to create 475,000 jobs by 2023.

"France is a nation of inventors, pioneers and producers. We have a duty to remain so," the president said.
