HEP Ibrahim Mohamed Solih sent a message on the occasion of the Maldives 55th anniversary as a member state of the United Nations (UN).

In his message, he highlighted that it is a huge milestone to celebrate the 5th anniversary as a member state of the United Nations and ever since the Maldives was accepted as a member state of the United Nations, Maldives have transformed into a middle income economy, sustained by a world-renowned tourism industry.

He also added that Maldives is one of the most active and visible small island states, acting in concert with international peers to resolve pressing issues, including the climate emergency, and Covid-19. Maldives have used every opportunity to be represented on some of the UN’s most important platforms – including in its Human Rights Council on two occasions.

Mr Ibrahim Solih assured that Maldives will commit to always abide by the principles and values enshrined in the UN Charter. Values, and multilateral engagement on the basis of mutual respect among all nations, is what will allow Maldives to confront and resolve the challenges.
