President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has decided to formulate a 20-year National Development Masterplan.
The decision was made following the Cabinet's recommendation and was announced in a video message.
President Muizzu revealed that the masterplan is intended to be completed within a year and will involve the participation of all citizens.
He emphasised that the masterplan would have legal backing, with a specifically designed law to support it.
He added discussions at the island level, involving civil society groups, sports figures, political parties, and other respected individuals, would soon commence.
Meanwhile at a press conference yesterday evening, the government's Chief Spokesperson Heena Waleed said the Cabinet has scheduled the commencement of the plan's formulation for November 2024, with a completion target of 12 months.
