Political ambition and betrayal a threat to sovereignty: President

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu addressed the nation at the official Victory Day ceremony at Republic Square, arguing that political ambition and betrayal have repeatedly threatened Maldives' sovereignty. He cited the 16th-century Portuguese incursions, the 1753 Malabar invasion, the Boduhulhu incident and the attempted coup of 3 November 1988 as examples of internal rivalry enabling foreign aggression, and paid tribute to those who defended the country.
