Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef has attended the official ceremony held by the King of the United Kingdom Charles III, who also is the Head of the Commonwealth.
The ongoing, 27th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2024 is being held in Samoa. This marks the first time the meeting is being held on a small island developing state (SIDS), from the pacific region.
During the Executive Session of the CHOGM, Vice President Latheef highlighted that democracy, human rights, peace, tolerance, and respect for diversity are essential foundations for thriving societies. These values promote understanding and strengthen the rule of law and governance. He pointed out the Maldives' commitment to establishing a solid democratic framework, evidenced by the successful completion of four cycles of free and fair elections—presidential, parliamentary, and local council.
