It is my great honour and privilege to address you all at these 44th Heroes Day Commemorations. Today, we are joining hands in remembering our gallant fighters who paid the supreme sacrifice to free our beautiful motherland from the grip of colonial domination and subjugation.

Their extraordinary courage and the risks they took so that we are Independent will always be remembered. For, it was they who helped shape our nation.

Even in the midst of neo-colonial machinations and illegal sanctions imposed on us, let us honour our heroes with a promise that their sacrifices will serve as our light and inspiration. We vow to resolutely protect the integrity of our Independence and the interests of our nation against those who wish us to fail.
