Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says for people to win political offices, they must not get into racism, provincialism, and gender disparity.

While speaking during the International Youth Day celebrations at the Suva Civic Centre, Sayed-Khaiyum says they must be able to ensure policies are inclusive.

Sayed-Khaiyum says there are different policies put in place to ensure that level of inclusiveness and respect is maintained.

He further says we cannot have a dichotomous approach to our problems.

The Minister adds we must be inclusive and willing to learn from each other and how we can use those learnings for the betterment for our own individual lives, society and the country.
