In a post on his official X account on the occasion of the Global Day of Parents, the President paid tribute to the selfless sacrifice of parents whose love and resilience shape future generations and strengthen the nation. He highlighted the government's investment in education, healthcare, and community programmes as central to upholding the Maldivian tradition of family as the cornerstone of society.
