President Jioji Konrote says in the past decades there were entire generations of Fijian children who were denied the priceless assurance of security, were constantly told they were different from one another and who never knew the optimism that equal opportunity engenders.
While opening the new Parliamentary Session this morning, Konrote says some were made to feel strangers in their own country.
The President says they were victims of discriminatory notions of national identity.
He says this has changed.
Konrote says they have forged a national identity by establishing common equal citizenship, made education free, they are daily creating transparency across the business of governance.
