Fiji marked 56 years of independence on Fiji Day. In his official message, the Prime Minister greeted the nation in Fijian and Hindi with ‘Ni sa bula vinaka’ and ‘Namaste’.
The message describes Fiji Day as an opportunity to recall what defines the country, honour those who came before and look to the future being built, highlighting the courage and resilience of the Fijian people.
‘We are a nation of many communities, cultures, faiths, languages and traditions, but we share one home,’ the message says, pointing to diversity as one of the key lessons of these 56 years.
