“As we celebrate men today, we recognise the important roles you play in your families, in your communities, and the nation “We acknowledge your hard work, dedication to the country’s development, and your resilience As a government, we also recognise the various roles you play, the different hats you wear, the responsibilities you carry, and the sacrifices you make,” Dinha said The deputy minister stated that her ministry recognised the vital role played by men in shaping their families
