President Abdulla Yameen has called on military officials to maintain discipline and professional standards in their service.
“The state wants to make soldiers professional. The security of the state depends on the professionalism of soldiers.”
“Political ideology should not enter the ranks of soldiers,” said Yameen – the commander in chief of the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF).
Yameen’s comments were made during a ceremony held in Malé to mark the 122nd anniversary of the military service in the Maldives. The occasion also saw the launch of the military’s own television station and the presentation of numerous awards.
