​Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and H. E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, President of the Republic of Maldives, released commemorative stamps on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of India-Maldives diplomatic relations.

Reflecting the age-old bilateral ties between the two countries, the commemorative stamps depict the Indian boat Uru, a large wooden dhow handcrafted in the historic boatyards of Beypore, Kerala, and the traditional Maldivian fishing boat - Vadhu Dhoni. These boats have been part of the Indian Ocean trade for centuries. The traditional Maldivian fishing boat - Vadhu Dhoni - is used for reef and coastal fishing. It depicts Maldives's rich maritime heritage and the close bond between island life and the ocean.

India was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Maldives following its independence in 1965. The commemorative stamps release symbolizes the close and historical ties between the two countries.

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the spirit of selfless service and dedication
August 21, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has said that the continuous flow of rivers teaches us how we can utilise our capabilities for the welfare of humanity. He noted that the spirit of selfless service, dedication and benevolence gives a new direction to the nation.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“जीवनं स्वं परार्थाय नित्यं यच्छत मानवाः।

इति सन्देशमाख्यातुं समुद्रं यान्ति निम्नगाः॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that human beings, dedicate your lives to the service and welfare of others. Just as rivers flow ceaselessly and selflessly, sustaining countless lives with their waters before ultimately merging into the ocean, so should we devote our time, abilities and resources to the well-being of others. The true purpose and fulfilment of human life lie in selfless service, compassion and the welfare of all.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“नदियों का अविरल प्रवाह सिखाता है कि हम किस प्रकार अपने सामर्थ्य का उपयोग मानवता की भलाई के लिए कर सकते हैं। निःस्वार्थ सेवा, समर्पण और परोपकार की यही भावना राष्ट्र को नई दिशा देती है।

जीवनं स्वं परार्थाय नित्यं यच्छत मानवाः।

इति सन्देशमाख्यातुं समुद्रं यान्ति निम्नगाः॥”
