We all need to work as one people for the betterment and success of our nation.

This is the Fiji Day message from TISI Sangam National President, Parveen Kumar Bala who says that on this day, we honour the journey of our beloved nation; its resilience, diversity, and unwavering spirit of unity.

He says we celebrate not only our cultural heritage but our shared commitment to building a Fiji that is inclusive, compassionate, and forward-looking.

Bala says our forefathers arrived in Fiji from India with hope and hardship, and today, their legacy lives on in our schools, temples, health services, and community outreach.

He says this day reminds us that Fiji's strength lies in its people; in our ability to rise together, respect one another, and shape a future rooted in dignity and opportunity for all.

He adds that may we continue to nurture peace, uphold justice, and celebrate the unique blend of cultures that make Fiji truly special.
