Speaking during the official Independence celebrations on Monday, July 7 2025, Manele acknowledged the critical role international partners have played in assisting the country through times of difficulty and transition.
“To our bilateral and multilateral partners, I wish to thank you for your continuous support. You have indeed stepped up and assisted our country in unprecedented ways. We, as a nation, would like to register our gratitude. Tagio tumas,” he said.
Turning his focus to faith-based institutions, Manele delivered a heartfelt message to the churches.
“To our churches, you are the shoulder on which we lean during all our trying times. You are the moral compass of this country and your prayers and faith have indeed been a source of strength and inspiration,” he said.
Manele went on to emphasise the spiritual and social leadership of churches in nation-building efforts, commending their work in maintaining peace, guiding communities and supporting national values.
“Your role in nation-building is invaluable and appreciated. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let us continue to serve God and our people.”
