Minister for Employment Parveen Bala says the role of the government is to build the nation, not just by words, but by improving the quality of life for all Fijians.
While officiating at the centennial celebrations of the Solovi Temple in Nadi, Bala says the government is making sure that everyone is defined and counted as a Fijian.
He says this was regardless of race, colour, creed and religion.
He adds this is a central and key aim of the government.
Bala urged that people needed to show respect to each other to obtain respect from each other.
He says we carry with us our religion, and at the same time, we should respect other religions.
