PROMOTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
British Prime Minister Theresa May said Sunday in her New Year message that 2017 had been "a year of progress" for Britain as it negotiates its exit from the European Union. She promised to make a success of Brexit in 2018, strengthen the economy and build a "fairer society for everyone" over the next year.
"We also have to carry on making a difference here and now on the issues that matter to people's daily lives," May said.
In her end-of-year statement Sunday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for cohesion among German people and promised to quickly form a stable government, saying that "we will become more aware of what holds us together."
"The world is not waiting for us," Merkel said. Now the conditions would have to be created for Germany to prosper even in 15 years. The guiding principle of the market economy is a good compass, the German chancellor said, adding that the important thing is not only to secure and create jobs and to prepare society for digital progress, but also to put families first and provide dignified care.
Fiji's Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama pledged on Sunday to continue to grow the South Pacific Island state's economy in 2018 and bring greater opportunity for Fijians.
"We had to keep growing the Fijian economy, bringing greater opportunity into the lives of our people and caring for those Fijians who are most vulnerable in our society," the prime minister said in a New Year Message.
