It was an absolute honour to host you, dear Prime Minister @anwaribrahim, on your landmark State Visit to the Maldives.
Our fruitful official talks have laid a strong foundation for the future, reaffirming our shared commitment to expanding cooperation in key areas, including trade and investment, education and healthcare, tourism and sustainable development, Islamic affairs, and defence cooperation.
I am extremely grateful for your decision to consider extending a short-term currency swap facility of USD 100 million through our central banks. I am also pleased that the Government of Malaysia has agreed in principle to commence negotiations on a Preferential Trade Agreement, important steps that will further strengthen our economic partnership and create new opportunities for our peoples and businesses.
I also sincerely appreciate the timely message of support and encouragement you kindly sent for the PNC National Congress.
Your visit has opened a dynamic new chapter in the enduring bonds of friendship between the Maldives and Malaysia. I am confident that the brotherhood between our two nations will continue to reach new heights, for the mutual benefit and prosperity of our peoples.
May our bilateral ties grow ever stronger in the years ahead, In Sha Allah.
Long live 🇲🇻🇲🇾 friendship!
Wishing all participants in the 38th National Qur’an Recitation Competition every success. May Allah bless your efforts, strengthen your connection with the Holy Qur’an, and grant you excellence and success.
On the joyous occasion of the 79th Independence Day of Pakistan, I extend my warmest felicitations and best wishes to His Excellency @AAliZardari, President of Pakistan, His Excellency @CMShehbaz, Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the brotherly people of Pakistan.
The Maldives deeply values the longstanding bonds of friendship and close cooperation between our two countries. May the enduring ties between the Maldives and Pakistan continue to flourish, bringing greater prosperity and wellbeing to our two peoples.
On this International Youth Day, we honour one of the Maldives' greatest strengths. Our youth. Their creativity, resilience and determination are shaping our communities and our country in countless ways.
With nearly 45% of our population being youth, their hopes and aspirations are central to our future. This Administration is committed to continuing creating more opportunities for higher education, skills development and meaningful employment. Furthermore, initiatives such as the National Apprenticeship Programme and National Service Programme strengthen pathways from education to employment.
I am confident that, in the hands of our youth, the present as well as the future of the Maldives will be one of prosperity, resilience and sustainable development.

On behalf of the Government and the people of the Maldives, I extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to His Excellency Prime Minister @trahmanbnp, the Government, and the people of Bangladesh as they confront the severe impacts of the ongoing monsoon floods and landslides.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have tragically lost their loved ones and with all those whose livelihoods have been disrupted. The Maldives stands firmly in solidarity with Bangladesh during this challenging period and wishes safety, strength, and a swift recovery to all affected communities.
Warm congratulations to His Excellency Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister by consecutive days in office.
The Maldives looks forward to further strengthening cooperation with India, guided by mutual respect, sovereign equality, and shared interests.
As we observe the World Press Freedom Day, we recognise its significance in appreciating the individuals and organisations that uphold press freedom and protect the right to information.
