President Muizzu Launches National Campaign for Showing Respect to Revive Maldivian Customs

The "National Campaign for Showing Respect," a national project being carried out by the government to revive and enrich the beautiful customs of mutual respect in Maldivian society, was officially launched tonight. The project, carried out under the direction of President Muizzu, was also inaugurated tonight by the President. A large number of people, including senior government officials, heads of institutions, employees, associations and members of the public, participated in the special ceremony held for the occasion. At this ceremony, the President showed respect and requested from the people to set the resolve to reach an Islamic, civilised society. The President said that showing respect is an invisible cultivation carried out by humans. He said that the harvest of that cultivation is extremely beneficial, and that its branches spread to many directions. The President said that its fruit is a deep comfort given to hearts and a sweet nourishment received by the soul. The President noted that, as known from the findings of modern psychology, respecting one another's status in a society is something that increases closeness and affinity. And that it brings peace and happiness to that society. The President said the resolve must be set to reform ways of living and relationships in accordance with the noble standards and beautiful examples of the religion of Islam. And to make this society a developed and civilised society. The President announced this five-year project while delivering this year's presidential address. The government has decided to carry out various activities in various parts of the Maldives under this project, which is being carried out by the Heritage Ministry. The government says the aim of this is to respect the manners that have existed among Maldivians since ancient times, to revive noble moral qualities, and to strengthen the relationships of society.
