SUVA, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- A special exhibition organized by the National Archives of Fiji opened on Tuesday to give Fijians a chance to rediscover the nation's story, celebrating 55 years of progress and independence.
The exhibition, which was officially opened by Minister for Information Lynda Tabuya, showcases Fiji's political, social, and cultural evolution since independence in 1970, reported Fiji Broadcasting Corporation.
Tabuya said the archives remind Fijians of the values of unity, resilience, and peace that have guided their progress.
The exhibition features a range of key historical documents, photographs, and artefacts, tracing Fiji's transformation from a British colony to a modern, independent state.
The five-day exhibition is currently open at the Government Resource Center and will move to Albert Park in Suva on Friday, coinciding with Fiji Day celebrations.
Fiji, a South Pacific island nation, gained its independence from Britain on Oct. 10, 1970. ■
