He highlighted that the government has implemented three key policies to develop and preserve heritage. These include generating income from heritage, integrating heritage into people’s everyday lives, and digitising heritage for future generations. The Minister noted that, while heritage was previously considered a financial burden on the state, the current government views it as a sector worthy of investment.
Ongoing projects include the restoration and development of historic monuments, with additional initiatives planned, such as the launch of the Maldives’ first interactive immersive museum scheduled for January next year. The Minister attributed the sector’s progress to President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s clear vision and effective collaboration among relevant institutions.
