He encouraged families and the broader society to instil values that promote respect for national sovereignty, dignity, and integrity.

President Dr Muizzu also called for protecting children from harmful influences and ensuring access to modern education and skills training that would enable them to participate meaningfully in national development.

Addressing children directly, the President encouraged them to strive for self-improvement every day by learning new things and working to make each day more successful than the last.
