#WorldOceanDay signals that healthy oceans are essential to life and the future of our planet. This connection is deeply personal for our people, and it directly impacts our economy, food security, and environmental sustainability.
We are advancing a forward-looking approach to ocean protection through sustainable fisheries, stronger marine research, reef health monitoring, coral restoration and rehabilitation, and evidence-based action to build resilience against climate change and protect our marine ecosystems for the wellbeing of our people and environment.
As ocean warming, coral bleaching, and coastal erosion accelerate, protecting the ocean requires greater urgency and stronger international cooperation. Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to collective action and protect the ocean that sustains us all.
On this World Environment Day, let us remind ourselves that our future is inseparable from the health of our planet. As a Small Island Developing State standing at the frontline of climate adversities, we are cognisant of the urgent need to protect and preserve our environment.
We reaffirm our nation's commitment to advancing ambitious climate actions, including the Project Solar City initiative, strengthening disaster preparedness and early-warning systems, and promoting community-based adaptation and ecosystem protection methods.
The planetary crises we face today driven by climate change are affecting people, ecosystems, and natural resources worldwide. Addressing these challenges requires global action focused on climate adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable practices supported by greater awareness and shared responsibility. Let us all work together to protect and preserve our environment for a safer and more prosperous future.

Today marks a proud and historic milestone for the nation as the Maldives is elected to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the 2027–2029 term — for the first time in our 60 years of membership at the United Nations.
This achievement reflects the trust and confidence that the international community places in our nation and in our commitment to constructive multilateral engagement.
As a Small Island Developing State, the Maldives understands firsthand the urgent challenges faced by vulnerable nations, from climate change and economic resilience to sustainable development. Our seat at ECOSOC gives us a stronger platform to advocate for the priorities and aspirations of small island developing States and developing countries around the world.
Together with our partners, the Maldives will work to strengthen international cooperation, accelerate progress on sustainable development, and shape a ECOSOC that will result in fair finance, stronger delivery, and resilient futures.
We are pleased to announce the inauguration of our brand-new Cargo Terminal today, marked by the esteemed presence of President Dr. Mohamed Muizz. The cargo terminal is a step into the future with state-of-the-art facilities designed to elevate cargo operations to new heights.
I warmly welcome the United Kingdom’s decision to suspend tariffs on tuna imports effective 20th May 2026.
This important development will support British consumers while delivering meaningful benefits to the Maldives’ fisheries sector, strengthening fishermen’s incomes, supporting island livelihoods, and expanding opportunities for sustainably caught Maldivian tuna in the UK market.
The Maldives is globally recognised for its world-leading pole-and-line tuna industry and its commitment to responsible and sustainable fishing practices. This milestone reflects the close partnership between the Maldives and the UK and the importance both countries place on sustainable trade and economic resilience.
I thank the UK Government and all partners who contributed to this positive step forward for our fishermen and our economy. 🇲🇻🇬🇧
@ahmedmubean@ahmedmubean your courage and phenomenal contribution inspire us, indeed we have a better choice, vote Dr. Muizzu, In Sha Allah there will not be a second round.
So called women right ambassador!!! What I felt was the filth you used shows your real personality and mindset!!! The women sitting in the audience with their families were humiliated by you but the terrible truth is that despite all this filth, you received cheers and admiration
Do they really deserve 75% hike, @qasimibrahim why don't you stress, and pledge to address more severe issues, like sovereignty and massive debt of the country, it seems your manifesto will not relieve rather it elevates the burden of debt. @MMuizzu@Shiyamaldives@ahmedmubean
@qasimibrahim@nazim7878 offering a manifesto full of freebies isn't economically viable, neither you are going to gain any vote on that basis, public wants to know how you are going to settle the billions of debt acquired in the past couple of years @zein_zenin@Shiyamaldives
