Minister Heena Waleed calls for preserving ancestral moral values on Huravee Day

Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Heena Waleed has urged Maldivians to preserve the good moral qualities inherited from their ancestors, speaking at the official ceremony held to mark Huravee Day. At the ceremony, the Minister recalled the significance of Huravee Day and highlighted the achievements of its hero, Al-Sultan Al-Ghazi Hassan Izzuddin, also known as Dhon Bandarain, in saving the Maldives from the hands of the Holi, along with the historical importance of the day. Minister Heena said that marking such a day should prompt every Maldivian to resolve and take heed of the important lessons it carries. She identified these lessons as love for the nation, placing the nation first in every matter, and preserving all the beautiful moral qualities inherited from ancestors. Noting that the policies of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu are based on infrastructural development and human development, the Minister said that building minds connected with a deep feeling of love for the nation is an important goal in human development. She said a national project to revive nationalism has been started and is still ongoing, and that a national project of paying respect is being prepared to be inaugurated on the night of the coming Saturday. On the importance of these policies, Minister Heena Waleed said Vision 2040, included within the President's policy, together with the infrastructural and strategic works carried out to make the Maldives a developed country and such human development efforts, will pave the way for balanced development. According to the Minister, the true sweetness of a country's development and progress is received by the people when the human minds of that country are also built in the best possible way. She reiterated the importance of the strong policy being pursued by the President to keep Maldivian nationalism alive and elevate it, and to revive the beautiful customs of ancestors.
