10.”Fiji's Commitment in serving the Almighty God faithfully.”
Although it is difficult for me to tell whether these ten points really amount to substantial progress, I do encourage U.S. and global travelers, businessmen and other governments to look into Fiji’s progress in 2007 a bit further and see what can be done to support the new movement for domestic reform in Fiji.
It is certainly interested to notice how God, fairness, and happiness are focused upon in Jiuti’s narration.
Maybe it is time for us all to look at our commitments to development in the Pacific Rim more carefully. Maybe, now is the time to support the Fijian people--and not the coup leaders of the past.
