The Maldives today commemorated 60 years since joining the United Nations, highlighting six decades of active engagement with the international community.
Since becoming a UN member on 21 September 1965, the Maldives has championed multilateralism and consistently advocated for the interests of Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The country has advanced key global issues including climate change, sustainable development, human rights, and the protection of small states, while benefiting from UN-backed technical assistance and capacity-building programmes.
The Maldives’ leadership at the UN includes serving multiple terms on the Human Rights Council, presiding over the 76th Session of the General Assembly, and spearheading initiatives such as the International Day of Women in Diplomacy and the recognition of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.
As the nation celebrates this milestone, the Maldives reaffirmed its commitment to the UN Charter and pledged to continue amplifying the voices of small states in pursuit of a more just, resilient, and sustainable world.
