Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Adam Naseer Ibrahim has said that it is very important to pass on Maldivian heritage to future generations in order to move the nation forward between states of safety and danger.
The Minister said this in his welcome and thank you speech at the official ceremony held at the Islamic Center’s conference hall to mark Hura’a Day. The Minister said that a nation’s life exists between danger and safety. Therefore, to move forward safely between these two states, the intellectual development we need to undergo and the openness we need to have towards the times play an important role. As such, the Minister said that with the intellectual development that Maldivians need to undergo, Maldivian thinking also needs to develop in line with the changes of the times.
The Minister noted that the effort made by Maldivians to save the Maldivian nation from the hands of the Malabaris without joining any foreign party for the sake of the Maldivian nation’s safety demonstrates the extent of love for the country. The Minister has highlighted that Maldivians regained their independence through a sudden attack planned in secrecy with a unified mindset, and that the national interest prioritized by Maldivians in that situation, the care and trustworthiness maintained for the nation’s safety, are things that need to be noted on such a day.
