The strength of our economy lies in the thousands of small businesses that drive growth and create opportunities across our islands. On #MSMEDay, we recognise their contribution to building a stronger and a more resilient Maldivian economy.
Through Maldives 2.0, we are expanding access to finance, digital tools, infrastructure, and global markets. From cultural centres supporting heritage entrepreneurs to the Creator Hub, SME Digital financing, and international market access through Alibaba and PayPal, we are creating new pathways for growth and success.
Our commitment is clear; opportunities must be accessible to all. As we dedicate 2026 and 2027 to advancing SMEs, we remain focused on building an economy where every entrepreneur has the support needed to thrive.

#WorldOceanDay signals that healthy oceans are essential to life and the future of our planet. This connection is deeply personal for our people, and it directly impacts our economy, food security, and environmental sustainability.
We are advancing a forward-looking approach to ocean protection through sustainable fisheries, stronger marine research, reef health monitoring, coral restoration and rehabilitation, and evidence-based action to build resilience against climate change and protect our marine ecosystems for the wellbeing of our people and environment.
As ocean warming, coral bleaching, and coastal erosion accelerate, protecting the ocean requires greater urgency and stronger international cooperation. Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to collective action and protect the ocean that sustains us all.

Today marks a proud and historic milestone for the nation as the Maldives is elected to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the 2027–2029 term — for the first time in our 60 years of membership at the United Nations.
This achievement reflects the trust and confidence that the international community places in our nation and in our commitment to constructive multilateral engagement.
As a Small Island Developing State, the Maldives understands firsthand the urgent challenges faced by vulnerable nations, from climate change and economic resilience to sustainable development. Our seat at ECOSOC gives us a stronger platform to advocate for the priorities and aspirations of small island developing States and developing countries around the world.
Together with our partners, the Maldives will work to strengthen international cooperation, accelerate progress on sustainable development, and shape a ECOSOC that will result in fair finance, stronger delivery, and resilient futures.
