Abstract
I offer a vision which sees this beloved land of ours united
in its diversity, forged out of adversity and built on trust. I
offer you a vision of Fiji of which historians will say that,
in the midst of our tragedy, we found courage and wisdom,
and foresight and determination, to lead the nation away
from the precipice into a prosperous future. I can only
hope that my vision for this most wonderful of nations will
fulfil its promise. I can only pray that we who have the
moment at hand will find the courage, the strength and the
determination to let the past be past, and build a nation that
will stand not just to 20/20, but down through the centuries.
