On this auspicious occasion of International Women's Day, I extend my warmest greetings to all the incredible women who continue to inspire and empower us every day. Today, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of women in shaping our Island society, economy, and nation.

In our Islands women have shown tremendous participation in every field and have made our Islands proud in every occasion.

Let us reaffirm our commitment to gender equality, women's rights, and creating a world where every woman and girl can thrive and fulfill her potential. Together, let us strive to build a more inclusive and equitable society where women's voices are heard, their talents recognized, and their rights protected. Happy International Women's Day!
