Where we live in harmony,

Background: Text and Music by David François Marc André and George Charles Robert Payet. The National Anthem was adopted together with the new flag on National Day, June 18, 1996. The change of state symbols took place to represent the new multiparty system, which had replaced the former communist-style one-party state in the 1994 elections.
