“There cannot be a free society without democracy. There cannot be a just and equal society without democracy. There cannot be happiness and prosperity in a society without democracy,” the Vice President stated.

The Vice President pointed out that the Maldives is a young democracy that held its first multi-party elections in 2008, and how both countries could learn from each other.
