Congratulations to President Nasheed. Its a great occasion and event for Maldives though some people are mocking and lauging at it. But the under water cabinet meeting is not only going to make history, it will be a powerful and memorable message to the world that we are so vulnerable to Climate Change and the world must act fast to save us and others of our kind. It is very encouraging that President Nasheed has already captured much attention and support of the world to take urgent action to save the world from the brink of a looming catastrophe.
Those who could not get grapes will call it sour, and this magificent event is a similar example.MDP Government is so clever and capable of creating such brilliant ideas. Well doneand good luck, President Nasheed.
