I extend my sincere congratulations to the Government and people of the friendly Republic of Maldives on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of their independence. This day stands as a tribute to the Maldivian people’s enduring commitment to sovereignty, unity, and national advancement.

Somalia highly values its longstanding relationship with the Maldives, founded on mutual respect and shared aspirations for sustainable growth and development, and looks forward to deepening cooperation across multiple sectors to advance the common interests and well-being of both nations.

As Maldives commemorates this festive occasion, may it reaffirm its resilience, identity, and commitment to a prosperous future.

Happy Independence Day to the people of the Maldives!
