President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has commended mothers as the "real heroes" behind global progress and success, highlighting their pivotal role in shaping society. In a statement shared on social media to mark International Mother's Day, the president extended his congratulations and reflected on the profound contributions of maternal figures.
Mother's Day, he said, serves as a solemn reminder of "the most valuable sacrifice, maternal love". He described mothers as the driving force behind the world's achievements and expressed "good wishes" for the occasion, calling it a "joyful day".
The annual observance highlights the immeasurable impact of mothers in shaping future generations. Their unwavering love and deep familial bonds, the president noted, form the foundation of a strong and resilient nation.
Yet, for many mothers, the day also underscores ongoing challenges. President Muizzu's administration acknowledges the difficulties faced by single mothers, reaffirming its commitment to easing their burdens. As part of this effort, the president had pledged to increase government allowances, providing greater financial support to those in need.
