Human development efforts will pave the way for a developed future: Minister Heena Waleed

Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Heena Waleed has said that the human development efforts being carried out to make the Maldives a developed nation by 2040 will pave the way for a developed future. She made the remarks while speaking at the ceremony held in Malé to mark this year's National Day. In her speech, the Minister noted that the work of the National Project to Reinvigorate Patriotism, run to create a generation that loves the nation, is progressing. She also noted that preparations are underway to begin the National Project of Paying Respect, being carried out under the leadership of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. The Minister said such human development work will pave the way for the urban and developmental works being carried out to make the Maldives a developed nation by 2040. The aim of the National Project is to elevate and advance these thoughts and ideas among Maldivians, and to create a mindset of remaining independent with sovereignty, and to ensure that there is no group in the country that will do anything to threaten the independence and sovereignty of the Maldivian state. The National Campaign of Paying Respect is a national project launched by the government to be carried out open to the whole Maldives. The government has determined the slogan of the National Project of Paying Respect as "The joy of respect – the benefit of society."
