The current administration has restored public safety, ensured peace and stability, and launched development projects on an unprecedented scale, President Abdulla Yameen declared Monday morning at this year’s official opening of parliament.
Yameen used his fourth state of the nation address to underscore the government’s achievements in 2016 and to set forth ambitious goals of creating thousands of new jobs and developing regional hospitals and airports.
“When this government’s first three years came to an end, with God’s will, several projects have been successfully completed all across the Maldives, happiness and contentment has been assured for the people, peace and harmony has been established,” he said.
The president is mandated by the constitution to address the People’s Majlis at the beginning of the year’s first session, where he “may present proposals for improving the state of the country.”
