The top official emphasized that it is important to thank private companies for their participation and commitment to job fairs in order to move the country forward.
"I expect to receive tomorrow the names of all the companies participating today so I can thank them in writing for their participation and, at the same time, encourage them to continue working with us," he concluded.
