During a press conference convened at the President's Office, Chief Spokesperson Heena Waleed reiterated the Maldives Government's unwavering commitment to defending the rights of the Palestinian people, affirming that necessary measures would be taken to safeguard their interests.

Highlighting recent international engagements by Maldivian Ministers, Heena underscored Dr. Ali Haider Ahmed's address at the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, where concerns were raised regarding the veto power of a single vote. Additionally, Dr. Mohamed Shaheem's participation at the 15th Session of the Islamic Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Banjul, The Gambia, further emphasized the Maldives' solidarity with Palestine.

Providing updates on upcoming Ministerial visits, Heena assured transparency in communicating the destinations and purposes of these trips, emphasizing the Government's commitment to keeping the public informed.

In a bid to enhance transparency and accessibility, Heena announced plans to establish a website where decisions made during cabinet meetings would be readily accessible to the public. Furthermore, efforts to develop a comprehensive system encompassing information from Government offices and entities, including visual content, are underway, with the aim of making this system publicly available by the month's end.

Addressing inclusivity in public engagement, Heena revealed plans to introduce a system enabling viewers to submit questions via video for the "Raees ge Javaabu" programme. This initiative aims to broaden participation and ensure equal opportunities for engagement within the Maldivian community.

The announcements made during the press conference underscore the Government's commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance, reflecting ongoing efforts to strengthen democratic processes and uphold the interests of the Maldivian people.
