President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih highlights the nation’s progress in achieving complete political freedom in all fields over the past five years, providing the people with comprehensive political, domestic, and foreign freedoms while safeguarding their civil liberties.
He made these remarks during his address to the nation on the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the Maldives’ independence.
The official Independence Day ceremony was held at the Maldives Centre for Social Education (MCSE). The ceremony was attended by First Lady Fazna Ahmed, Cabinet Ministers, senior judiciary officials, parliamentarians, foreign dignitaries, and foreign diplomats stationed in the Maldives.
In his address, the President stated that the most significant satisfaction an individual can derive from independence is the protection of their civil liberties.
He continued by saying that the people have long grasped their civil rights to make headway in developmental efforts, such as educating their children.
The Maldives commemorates its Independence Day every year on July 26th, marking the 58th anniversary of the nation’s independence this year.
