- Three members from University Students' Union - Jaish Ali Waheed, Hussain Arubaan Fawwaz and Dhaluf Ahmed
Meeting the youth representatives after the ceremony, the President said that with the highest percentage of the population being youth, the desired goal of establishing this committee is to have the youth's voice weigh in through advice to the President when matters of the State are decided upon.
"I am very pleased that a work like this has commenced. That is, Maldivian youth achieving something for the country's youth. There are no limits, nothing you cannot voice your views on," the President said.
"Instead of doing what I suggest, this paves the way for you to voice your views on how you want things done."
The President said that this committee can advice on anything relating to the State, or anything happening in the country.
