SUVA, Jan 2 (NNN-PINA) – Fiji’s Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, said yesterday, people must continue to hold hope that, 2023 will be a year of revival, awakening and a renewed spirit.
In his New Year message, he said that, as a nation, they must stay positive despite the challenges that they will face this year.
“The uncertainty that we are experiencing in the geo-political environment, cannot be swept under the carpet. At home front we have our own socio-economic challenges and deep-rooted mistrust among our different communities,” he said.
“Some of these events are beyond our control. And there continues to be uncertainty. We must all commit ourselves to address these enormous challenges,” he added.
Rabuka urged Fijians to work together for solutions to those challenges, and have trust and faith in each other, saying, it is for them to create another history of friendship, shared purpose and shared dreams.
He said that, the new coalition government’s overriding goal is to increase national wealth, so that everyone can benefit, such as the less privileged people, children, housewives, young people, villagers and farmers, among others.– NNN-PINA
