Warm felicitations to President Murmu @rashtrapatibhvn, PM @narendramodi, and our dear friends, the people of India, on the occasion of India’s Independence Day.
India’s journey since 1947 has been an inspiration to developing countries such as the Maldives on our own path to democracy.
May the close ties of cooperation and friendship that exist between Maldives–India grow ever stronger.
On the occasion of Pakistan’s 79th anniversary of independence, I extend my greetings and best wishes to President Asif Ali Zardari (@AAiZardari), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (@CMShehbaz) and the people of Pakistan.
May the fraternal ties that have long existed between Maldives and Pakistan grow even stronger.
Deeply saddened by the passing of His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Father Emir of Qatar. He was a visionary leader who remained committed to furthering the close ties between Qatar and the Maldives. My heartfelt condolences to His Highness the Emir, the Al Thani family, and the people of Qatar.
Congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving Prime Minister.
This is a truly historic milestone that reflects the enduring trust and confidence the people of India have placed in Prime Minister Modi as steward of their aspirations and ambitions. India’s remarkable economic, social, and political progress during his tenure stands as a testament to his leadership.
Closer to home, Maldives–India relations have also flourished and strengthened significantly under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership. It is my sincere hope that the close bonds of friendship between our two countries continue to grow in the years ahead.
The jailing of journalists @MrLeevaaan and @MohamedShahzan both journalists for @AdhadhuMV marks another shameful chapter in the government’s attempt to intimidate the press and silence public dissent.
It is also a clear indication of government interference in the judicial process.
These attacks on press freedom and free expression will not succeed. We will never waver in defending the hard-won rights and freedoms guaranteed to every citizen under the Constitution.
Wishing children across the Maldives a joyful Children’s Day. As the future of our nation, we must do everything within our power to ensure that every child is safe, valued, and given the opportunity to realise their fullest potential.
