Almighty Allah created human beings as the noblest of creation, and a community’s happiness and a nation’s sense of belonging thrive when this is reflected in each person’s character and actions, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu said tonight.
The President made the remarks at a ceremony at the Malé running track to officially launch the "National Respect Campaign", a government initiative to revive and strengthen the practice of mutual respect in Maldivian society.
The President said every civilised human community has distinctive characteristics that reflect its national identity, as well as meaningful indicators of the quality and extent of its moral values. Among the clearest of these indicators are the ways in which its members show respect, he said.
The President said showing respect was a moral value that Maldivians had once demonstrated to a very high degree. The noble quality of respect they displayed at the time was not only a distinctive feature of the Maldivian identity, woven into every aspect of their lives, but also clear evidence of being Maldivian, he said.
