In a message posted on his official X account, the President highlighted the importance of nurturing young people’s creativity and providing resources to help shape their futures. He noted that Maldivian youth continue to demonstrate that age is no barrier to making a meaningful impact.
With youth projected to comprise 57 percent of the global population by 2030, President Dr. Muizzu stressed the urgency of empowering young people to assume decision-making roles.

The President reaffirmed his commitment to supporting youth leadership in building a strong digital economy, prioritizing housing for young families, and providing the tools to turn ideas into action for a connected and prosperous future.
Concluding, Dr. Muizzu emphasized his Administration’s dedication to fostering an inclusive, participatory environment where youth are recognised as agents of change and development benefits reach all.
