As I conclude my first State Visit to Pakistan, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my dear brothers, President Asif Ali Zardari (@PresOfPakistan) and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (@CMShehbaz), the Government, and the brotherly people of Pakistan for the exceptional warmth, affection, and gracious hospitality extended to my wife, my delegation, and me.
This visit marks a defining moment in Maldives–Pakistan relations. We have agreed to turn a new leaf in our relationship and usher in a new era of partnership.
Our commitment is clear: to take our bilateral relations to unprecedented heights and transform our longstanding friendship into greater economic opportunities, shared prosperity, and tangible benefits for our peoples.
At the heart of this new chapter is our shared determination to increase bilateral trade from USD 13 million to USD 200 million within the next two years.
The successful Maldives–Pakistan Business Forum, which I was honoured to address alongside Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has laid an important foundation for translating this ambitious commitment into concrete investments, stronger business partnerships, and meaningful economic cooperation.
The exchange of 20 MoUs during this visit further demonstrates our resolve to move beyond aspirations towards practical cooperation and measurable results.
I leave Islamabad with cherished memories, deep appreciation, and renewed confidence that we have laid the foundations for a stronger, more dynamic, and mutually beneficial partnership.
Our six decades of friendship have brought us this far. Our shared vision and determination will now take us to new heights.
Thank you once again, Pakistan, for your extraordinary friendship and hospitality.
