President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has issued a heartfelt message of felicitations on the occasion of this year's Commonwealth Day, commemorated annually on March 11. Emphasizing the significance of unity and collaboration, President Muizzu highlighted the shared values and aspirations enshrined in the Commonwealth Charter.

In his message, President Muizzu underscored the Commonwealth's pivotal role as a steadfast partner for Small Island Developing States like the Maldives. He lauded the Commonwealth's advocacy for vital issues such as climate action, gender equality, trade facilitation, and resilience building, all of which hold profound importance for nations grappling with vulnerabilities.

This year's theme, "One Resilient Common Future: Transforming our Common Wealth," resonates deeply with the Maldives' interests and underscores the collective endeavor to address shared challenges and pursue sustainable development. President Muizzu expressed gratitude for the Commonwealth's unwavering commitment to finding solutions to mutual concerns, particularly in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting scheduled in Samoa later this year.

As the Maldives commemorates the 75th anniversary of its rejoining the Commonwealth on February 1, 2020, President Muizzu reaffirmed the nation's dedication to working within the Commonwealth family. He stressed the importance of collaborative efforts in navigating the road ahead, fostering a common future and shared prosperity for all member states.

President Muizzu's message encapsulates the Maldives' enduring commitment to the Commonwealth's principles and objectives, reaffirming the nation's resolve to contribute actively to the collective pursuit of progress and resilience within the Commonwealth community.
