“Every Fijian should be proud of how far we have come as a nation.”
That is the message from the Speaker of Parliament Dr Jiko Luveni during the Fiji Day Celebrations at Bidesi Park in Suva this morning.
Dr Luveni says celebrations of this kind are always of great importance because they remind a nation of its ability to stand up on its own feet and to create its own unique identity as an independent sovereign state.
She says central to our independence 45 years ago, was the commitment of our leaders to promote harmony, equality and the right to respect every individual.
Meanwhile President, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau will officiate in the second part of the Fiji Day Celebrations at Bukhurst and Bidesi ground from this hour.
