In a powerful and unifying address at the inauguration of the new terminal at Velana International Airport last night, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu urged Maldivians to embrace a collective resolve to put the nation first and work shoulder to shoulder toward a brighter, more progressive future.
Addressing the nation during the landmark ceremony marking one of the most significant infrastructure achievements in Maldivian history, President Muizzu underscored that national development is not limited to physical projects, but also requires a deep commitment to intellectual and social advancement.
“Tonight, I ask only one thing from all Maldivians — let us prioritize our country above all else. Let us move forward together, with sleeves rolled up, united by purpose and determination,” the President declared, speaking with passion and conviction to a crowd gathered to witness the historic opening.
President Muizzu emphasized that through unity, discipline, and unwavering focus, the Maldives can reach unprecedented heights — both in tangible progress and the cultivation of national intellect. “We will achieve holistic development — of both our minds and our infrastructure. That is the path forward, and that is where our attention must remain,” he added.
The inauguration of the state-of-the-art terminal, a symbol of national ambition and capability, served as the ideal platform for the President’s rallying message — a call to action to accelerate the nation’s transformation and elevate the standard of living for all Maldivians.
Under President Muizzu’s leadership, the Maldives is witnessing a renewed era of infrastructure growth, economic stability, and diplomatic strength. The President’s speech last night not only celebrated a monumental achievement but also set a clear, forward-looking vision for the nation: unity, progress, and unwavering patriotism.
