The Maldives Police Services has inaugurated the third in a series of youth camps titled ‘Blues For Youth’ on Sunday on the island of Feydhoo Finolhu.
Minister of Home Affairs Umar Naseer, Minister of Youth and Sports Mohamed Maleeh Jamal, and the Commissioner of Police Hussain Waheed addressed the participants of the camp at the inauguration event held on Sunday morning.
In his address, Home Minister Naseer focused on the importance of local youth involvement on all kinds of work and as a way of decreasing the need for foreign labour in the country.
“There is no task too menial or lowly for a Maldivian. If doing the work earns you an income, and is a service unto the nation, then it is not too lowly for us,” said Naseer.
