“If we do this, peace and sustainable development will envelope our world. This is because we will see and treat ourselves as brothers and avoid things that can tear us apart, subjugate or hurt one another under whatever guise.

“As an administration, we strive to be fair to every segment of the society in the belief that all of us are from Adam and Adam is from dust.
