On the joyous occasion of New Year, I convey my warmest greetings and good wishes to all my respected Islanders.

Let us resolve to make it a year in which the people of the Islands in all their rich diversity unite to work towards the collective goal of inclusive development and growth. May the New Year ring out violence, exploitation, and suffering and ring in peace, equity, good health and goodwill.
