In his Christmas message, the President says that as people gather to celebrate the joy of Christmas, they are reminded of the enduring promise revealed through the birth of Jesus Christ — a promise of peace, redemption, and unshakable hope.

As the nation prepares to enter the new year, President Lalabalavu urged citizens to renew their commitment to unity, understanding, and respect, and to work together to build a Fiji where every child grows with hope and every community is strengthened by peace.
He further encouraged people to reach out to those in need during the festive season, reminding them that a neighbour can be anyone, regardless of ethnicity, language, or religion.
The President says that through collective effort and God’s grace, Fiji will continue to move forward stronger, more united, and filled with hope.
