Notable quotes

“This is a crucial time for the U.N. (United Nations) and for the world. There is very little time to spare.”
— Abdulla Shahid (2021) cited in: "Maldives FM Abdulla Shahid elected as next UN assembly president" in Daily Sabah, 8 June 2021.
“The Maldives being a large ocean state, with our borders very porous, we need an effective surveillance and maritime operations, an effective coast guard. We do not have a proper hub to do the required maintenance of our boats. Every time, there needs to be maintenance or repair work, (the boat) has to be either taken to Sri Lanka or India.”
— Abdulla Shahid (2023) cited in: "Naval facility built with India's help will boost maritime security: Maldives" in Hindustan Times, 13 March 2023.
