Jumhooree Party leader and Maamigili MP Gasim Ibrahim has commended President Dr. Muizzu for representing the Maldives on the global stage with dignity and strength at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

In a post shared on social media platform ‘X’, Gasim praised President Dr. Muizzu for proving that the Maldives is a nation that dares to speak boldly before the world.

President Dr. Muizzu returned to the Maldives earlier today after attending the UNGA.

Gasim highlighted that his speech garnered significant international attention, even making headlines in prominent media outlets.

Notably, President Dr. Muizzu became the first Maldivian president to address the UN Security Council, further elevating the country's profile on the global stage.

There is no doubt that since the Maldivian flag proudly began flying at the UN 59 years ago, President Dr. Muizzu has represented our nation in a thoughtful and fitting manner. He has shown that the Maldives is proud, courageous, strong, far-sighted, and skilled, with a vision for development.

He stated

Gasim pointed to President Dr. Muizzu’s focus on critical global issues such as climate change, renewable energy, and social and economic challenges in his UN speech.

He also praised the President's condemnation of Israeli genocidal actions against Palestine, noting that this strong stance resonated deeply within the Islamic world and many other nations.

The President’s speech, particularly his condemnation of the crimes committed by the Zionist state in Palestine, was warmly received by the Islamic world and beyond

Gasim emphasized

In a veiled criticism of the opposition,

Some political opponents, particularly a leader who failed to represent the Maldives at the UN despite serving a full five-year term, seem to misunderstand the significance of President Muizzu’s speech.

Gasim remarked

Gasim concluded by reiterating his admiration for President Dr. Muizzu, acknowledging his efforts to present the Maldives as a forward-looking nation with a developmental vision.

During his visit, President Dr. Muizzu also held key meetings with international delegates, co-chaired events, and addressed both the General Assembly and the UN Security Council, showcasing the Maldives’ growing influence in global affairs.
