On behalf of the Government and the people of the Maldives, and on my own behalf, I have the honour to extend to Your Excellency, my sincere good wishes and congratulations on your election as the President of South Korea. It is also remarkable that you are the first female President for South Korea.
Your victory is a tribute to your foresight, leadership and policies, and it shows the confidence that the people of South Korea have in you and your government. I am hopeful that during your new term of office, the people of South Korea will see a more peaceful, prosperous and egalitarian society.
I am confident that in the years ahead our two countries would be able to further consolidate our long-standing relations and diversify our ties in new areas of cooperation. I also look forward to working closely with you on regional and global issues of mutual interest.
Please accept my personal best wishes for your good health and well-being and for the peace, progress and prosperity of the friendly people of South Korea.
