First Lady Sajidha Mohamed has said that an inclusive society is one where everyone is valued and no one is excluded.
The remarks were made on 8 November. She has previously spoken about the importance of supporting vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities and women in the workforce.
The First Lady attended the Islamic University of Maldives convocation earlier in the week. She has also participated in events focused on family and health.
Government programmes on social protection and education have been cited by officials as steps toward greater inclusion. Civil society organisations have called for stronger implementation and monitoring of existing laws.
No new policy announcements accompanied the statement. The First Lady's Office regularly highlights community initiatives.
The comments form part of a series of messages issued around national observances.
