UN in the Maldives

Journalism shapes peace. Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies. When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust. When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace. unesco.org/en/days/press-…

@China_Amb_Mdv @librarymv Thank you, H.E. @China_Amb_Mdv for the meaningful book donation marking #ChineseLanguageDay & the spirit of World Book & Copyright Day. Celebrating language, multilingualism & knowledge at the National Library of Maldives reminds us that books are enduring ambassadors of culture.

So glad to join friends from the National Library of the Maldives @librarymv and @UNMaldives for a book donation on #ChineseLanguageDay (Grain Rain 谷雨)! In Chinese culture, Grain Rain marks a season of growth and is linked to the creation of Chinese characters. From ancient scripts over 3,000 years ago to today, writing has carried ideas, memories, and wisdom across generations. Books are wonderful bridges between cultures. Hope these new additions will help more Maldivian friends get to know China—and maybe even spark an interest in learning Chinese In today's fast-moving, AI-powered world, taking time to read and reflect matters more than ever. Special thanks to Mr. Zhang Hao @Haomaldives, UN Resident Coordinator, for joining us and supporting cultural exchange. What are you reading these days?
