Unity is dignity of the Union

solidarity and perpetuation of sovereignty,
- for all the national races to keep the Union spirit ever alive and dynamic among the national people,
- for all the national races to prevent through the national solidarity, the danger of internal and external destructive elements attempting to undermine peace and stability of the State and the national development,

- for all the national races to make concerted efforts for successful implementation of the seven-step Road Map.

Nowadays, the government is building a new modern developed discipline-flourishing democratic nation with the participation of all the national people. Brilliant achievements have been made in political, economic and social sectors.
