Government policy in Frieland has traditionally favored foreign investment. Leaders of all political parties have been virtually unanimous in their belief that foreign investment in Frieland would contribute to speeding that country’s economic development, a major priority of both the ruling coalition and opposition parties. Of special interest to the government were those industries that exported a significant share of their total output. Since Frieland had a relatively small population, there was a limit to the amount of goods that could be produced for the local market. Also, the government did not want to encourage foreign investors to compete with local industry, even though new industries might alleviate the already high unemployment rate.

(A) Government Policy in Frieland.

pls provide explanation to both the questions.
In Q1. I am more inclined for Option A as the passage is mainly about Frieland country.
In Q2. How can we say that aim of the author is to inc. foreign investment? From which part of the passage this can be inferred?
