Male’, Maldives – President Mohamed Ibrahim Solih will address the country tomorrow on the occasion of Republic day.
The presidents office has said that President Solih will address the nation at 10:00 on November 11, which is marked as the Republic day of the Maldives.

The Annual Republic Day ceremony has been cancelled this year due to Covid-19, which was to be expected as 2020 has seen many other important national ceremonies, such as independence day ceremony being cancelled.
However, on November 3rd, Victory day, a brief flag hoisting ceremony was held early morning. Attendees were wearing masks and followed social distancing rules.
