Men and women of Bali Nyonga,

As we gather in spirit across the globe, I extend warm greetings to each of you. It is with great pride and humility that I write to you today, reflecting on our shared heritage and the vibrant community we continue to build together.

First of all, let me acknowledge the leadership of our Paramount Fon, His Majesty Dr. Doh Ganyonga III. And let me commend the leadership of all our Divisional Councils and affiliated gatherings. Your dedication to our culture and community is an inspiring beacon for us all at this time. Under your guidance, we have seen the importance of unity and the preservation of our traditions, which are the foundation of our identity as a people.

As we navigate the challenges of our time, we must leverage on all opportunities and values that bind us together. Whether you reside in Bali Nyonga itself or elsewhere around the globe, your contributions are vital to our collective strength, in as much as you embody the spirit of resilience and innovation that Bali needs today to thrive in a changing world.

We have embarked on a host of initiatives aimed at bringing our esteemed land back to normalcy, where everyone shall belong and feel at ease. We must bury our differences, forgive one another and trust in our collective strength to empower our youth, preserve our rich cultural heritage, and foster sustainable development. I encourage all of you to actively participate in these endeavors, share your ideas, and support one another. Together, we can create a brighter future for Bali Nyonga and the generations to come.

Let us continue to uphold the principles of unity, integrity, and cultural pride. Together, we can honor our past while forging a path toward a prosperous and dynamic future.

In solidarity and hope,

Ba Sama Fohtung Samuel Tangang
President General
