Our Ideals

Service to the last person, national unity and cultural pride: the ideas we work by come from these lives.

Thought of the day

At all times, whether I am eating or in my chambers, let the reporters keep me informed of the people’s affairs. I will work everywhere. The welfare of the people is my duty, and its root is effort and promptness in work.
