President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has pledged to transform the Maldives into a developed nation powered by the full and active participation of its youth.
The President shared this ambitious vision during the debut episode of Spot On!, a new social media podcast series aimed at engaging young Maldivians. The episode, released today, featured a candid and hopeful conversation focused on the country’s youth, who make up about one-third of the population.
President Muizzu underscored that his “greatest hope” is to see young people not only involved in the nation’s progress but leading it — particularly as the Maldives transitions into a digitally driven economy. While recognising that youth already play a vital role in society, he called for them to take the reins across all sectors.
“I want to see every young Maldivian grow into a proud citizen, grounded in our national identity and Islamic faith,” he said.
Throughout the episode, Muizzu responded to five questions submitted by young individuals, addressing topics ranging from policy to personal aspirations. He also asked what young people expect from his administration and outlined ongoing efforts to deliver on key promises made to them.
Emphasising a leadership style rooted in honesty and transparency, the President reassured listeners of his commitment to youth-focused development. The podcast blended serious discussion with casual moments, as the President used modern slang and shared personal stories from his own youth, creating a more relatable and engaging dialogue.
With Spot On! set to continue in future episodes, the series marks a new initiative by the Muizzu administration to connect directly with the youth and involve them in shaping the country’s future.
