Prime Minister Lord Fakafanua was honoured to read the third hymn at the National Thanksgiving Service commemorating the Bicentennial Anniversary of Christianity in the Kingdom of Tonga.

The sermon was delivered by His Majesty King Tupou VI, who reflected on the enduring influence of Christian leadership and values in shaping the Kingdom and its people.

As Tonga marks this historic milestone on this special public holiday, the Government of Tonga joins the nation in celebrating and giving thanks on this deeply significant occasion.
