The President further stated that this administration regarded the youth as an integral part of the society. He said that the administration puts in every effort to tackle the challenges faced by them, as it was essential for the progress of the nation.
In his speech, President Yameen emphasised that citizens are responsible to safeguard the country, and also stressed that Maldivians must have the drive and the skills to take this nation forward. The President also highlighted that while one group tries relentlessly at providing a quality life for the people, another is regrettably encouraging the destruction of the community.

Stating that the administration must be held accountable, the President said that doing so must result in the people's contentment.
