He noted the government has achieved significant progress in initiating developmental projects across the nation within the past three years.
At the event, Vice President Naseem inaugurated the Regional Airports Monument and was presented with a commemorative plaque by the Hoarafushi Island Council and Regional Airports Company Limited.
