Minister’s message reads as follows:
“On behalf of the Government, the people of the Republic of Maldives, and on my own behalf, I extend warm greetings and sincere best wishes to Your Excellency and the people of Australia, on the happy occasion of Australia Day.
Maldives deeply values its close relationship with Australia, a trusted development partner that has played a key role in supporting our socio-economic progress in areas such as education, healthcare, maritime security and environmental sustainability.
At the heart of our strong bilateral ties are the people-to-people connections, exemplified by the Australia Awards program, which empowers Maldivians through scholarships focused on human resource development.
Our partnership is built on shared values and a commitment to mutual progress. As we look towards the future, we are excited to continue collaborating in areas of mutual interest, fostering greater understanding, and contributing to the well-being of our people.
Let me extend my best wishes for your good health and well-being, and for further prosperity of the people of Australia.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration."
