Fiji's 2014 parliament sitting, the first ever in at least eight years, opened Tuesday, a move seen by Fijian President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau as the beginning of a journey of new democracy for the South Pacific island nation.
The new constitution must pave the way for a much more inclusive, modern, non-bureaucratic, stable and prosperous nation, Fijian President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau said Friday.
