President of the Republic of Maldives H.E Mr. Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. |

Developing
a long-range vision is essential for the motivation of a nation to reach
higher and achieve more. A vision of the future is one that can inspire
our actions and enable us to set clear goals towards which we can invest
our efforts and energy. It provides a mission for the people and a road
map for the future. Accordingly, the President has articulated a well-considered
and realistic vision for the Maldives in his Address to the Nation on the
occasion of the 34th Anniversary of Independence Day, on 26 July 1999. The
President envisaged that by the year 2020, by the grace of the Almighty
Allah, the Maldives will be one of the top-ranking nations amongst middle-income
developing countries, a nation capable of protecting and defending its freedom
and sovereignty.

| Maldivians
will demonstrate a higher degree of objectivity and rationality in both
private and public life. They will adhere to a strong work ethic that emphasises
responsibility and initiative. People will live in a more caring society,
one in which familial ties are even stronger than at present. The youth
of the nation will be fully committed to contribute to the nation's progress
and prosperity. They will be able to get the opportunities that they need
to achieve their full potential |

|
Living
conditions will improve due to greater urbanisation that would be
facilitated by population consolidation. |
