QUOTES

We add our voice ... to those who struggle for the recognition and protection for their rights and cultures, because to the extent that we respect our differences, we shall build a life with more justice.

Today, I think [the biggest challenge is] to try and make peace, because there's a lot of anxiety brought about by social changes, globalisation, kidnappings, poverty and the general instability of the country.
