His Majesty called for protecting national unity and the country\u2019s traditional values, and for ensuring that capable, qualified and impartial people play a greater role in state affairs.<\/p>\n<p>He also called for a balanced relationship with nature, conservation, and stronger preparedness to reduce disaster risks.
