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.

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.
