He made the comment while welcoming Commonwealth special envoy Sir Paul Reeves and his delegation, reports Fiji Sun.
Commodore Bainimarama explained that his stand has not changed from the July 1 announcement on Fiji’s Strategic Framework of Change and Roadmap to Parliamentary Democracy.
He said the focus was really on development and reforms until 2012 when work on the Constitution begins.
Bainimarama reiterated his government’s intention to restore parliamentary democracy in the country by 2014.
Reeves replied that their visit to Fiji was of noble intention and really to continue in dialogue.
Despite Fiji’s suspension from the Commonwealth, he has offered the Commonwealth’s continuous service and assistance to Fiji.
He is expected to meet with representatives of the Fiji Employers Federation and the Fiji Chamber of Commerce as well as the senior members of the University of the South Pacific and Fiji Institute of Technology’s academic staff.
Bainimarama said his government is determined to usher in the new changes and reshape the nation toward a destiny of peace, prosperity without raced-based policies and politics.
He said he wants to reshape the people’s perception and remove the legacy of previous administrations and colonial hangovers.
On whether his government will continue with the political party dialogue, Bainimarama said they will resume with the initiative in due time.
