Appreciation for President Mohamed Nasheed's Dedicated Service and New Role

We would like to express sincere appreciation for your exemplary service and dedication to the Maldives during your years in active politics. Your decision to step back from the parliamentary elections is met with gratitude from your constituents and the wider public, who have benefited from your commitment to good governance and public welfare.

Your efforts as President and Speaker of the Parliament to establish a social security system, providing free healthcare, pensions, and support for vulnerable members of society, reflect a profound commitment to the well-being of the Maldivian people. Despite the challenges in achieving all your aspirations, your perseverance and dedication have not gone unnoticed.

Your achievements in protecting the Maldives' natural environment through legislative safeguards for marine areas, biosphere reserves, coral reef protection, and marine species are commendable. Your foresight in addressing the inevitable toll of development on reefs and islands, coupled with your encouragement of environmental awareness among the youth, sets a positive trajectory for the nation's future.

Your political journey, marked by adversity and triumph, is a testament to your resilience and unwavering commitment to public service. Your decision to transition to an international role as the Secretary-General of the Climate Vulnerable Forum reflects your continued dedication to addressing global challenges.

Accepting the offer from the President of Ghana to lead the Climate Vulnerable Forum demonstrates your commitment to fostering global efforts to combat climate change. Your vision for increased investment in clean energy and technology in developing countries is a crucial step towards a sustainable and resilient future.

As you embark on this new chapter in Accra, Ghana, as the first Secretary-General of the Climate Vulnerable Forum, we extend our best wishes for success. May your leadership continue to inspire positive change on a global scale, and may your efforts contribute significantly to the fight against climate change.

Thank you, President Mohamed Nasheed, for your years of service to the Maldives and your continued dedication to creating a better, more sustainable world.
