		Ratu Sukuna recognised that the land the Fijians owned but did not need for their immediate beneficial use could be leased to Indians and others so Fijians, as owners, could get immediate economic benefits from it.
		Vice President, Ratu Sukuna clearly saw the need to prepare the Fijian people for the looming revolutionary transformation of their quiet communal way of life.
		In conclusion, Sir, may I say that Ratu Sukuna Day will therefore, be used firstly to celebrate the best in Fijian culture and secondly, to provide an opportunity for the people of this nation to celebrate the best of its multi-ethnic cultures.
