President Muizzu: Every government decision aims to fully protect Dhivehi language

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has stated that every step taken by the government and every decision made is aimed at ensuring full protection and security for the Dhivehi national language. Speaking at the official gathering held last night at Jumhoori Maidhani on Nasru Day, the President said he would not do anything that even slightly undermines national pillars such as the 100 percent Islamism of the Maldives, complete independence, and sovereignty. He highlighted that the most fundamental prerequisite for providing citizens with a comfortable and happy life is the establishment of the country's economic independence, adding that one can protect one's language, religion, and customs without having to beg by investing in an economy that does not require begging. The President said that just as the country was freed from the servitude of weapons, it must also be freed from the servitude of debt, and that revolutionary changes with positive impacts on the entire finance must be faced. He noted that the country has been saved from warnings that the Maldives would become bankrupt, and that the tradition of taking loans irresponsibly has ended, with debts being paid off and cleared, increasing foreign investor trust. Referring to national politics, the President said an external policy advancing the interests of the Maldives has been established, foreign troops have been sent away, and a letter regarding a maritime area within the country's political power has been brought back. He also said the military capability of the national defense force is being enhanced, with more than 1,000 young people undergoing training under the Dheevinaathi service. Highlighting that his first address after taking the oath of office on November 17, 2023, was delivered on the same historic ground, the President said he declared then that the economy would be prioritized and equal importance given to moral and material development. With the 40th anniversary of the Nasru incident approaching, he said history must be learned from, and national loyalty and safety must be brought forward amidst political emotions, personal grievances, and the arrogance of power.
