We have shown we have achieved maturity as a nation and as a democratic society. We have also shown that we are able to deal with the problems we faced in our own way and with our own program.
In short, the year 2004 was a year where we are beginning again to show our own identity as a nation and our determination to stand on our own two feet. With the record achieved in the year 2004 it was natural for us to look to the year 2005 with optimism.
