Defense Minister Ghassan Maumoon has commended President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's efforts, stating that they showcase to the world that the Maldives is an independent nation.

During a recent appearance on PSM, Ghassan spoke about President Muizzu's current visit to the United States for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). He emphasized that in his inaugural address, President Muizzu outlined maintaining the Maldives' independence and sovereignty as his top priority.

Ghassan remarked that significant measures have been put in place to prevent foreign interference in the Maldives’ internal affairs, effectively drawing a "thick red line" around the country’s autonomy.

He expressed confidence that the global community is increasingly recognizing the resilience of the Maldivian people, who are committed to standing on their own and safeguarding their freedoms.

These comments come as President Muizzu engages in vital discussions with various world leaders at the UNGA, highlighting the Maldives' determination to uphold its independence on the international stage.
