Melanesian Council Chairman, Reverend Tomu Asioli says it is time to move forward and that dwelling on the past is unproductive, as history will always be history.

Reverend Asioli also highlighted the importance of unity, not only within the Melanesian community but also with other communities, for the sake of harmony.

The Melanesian Council will elect its new executive members today.
