Eight years ago today, the China–Maldives Friendship Bridge was opened as a powerful symbol of the enduring friendship between our two nations, connecting our Capital, Malè to the Airport and Hulhumalé.
More than infrastructure, it represents the trust, solidarity and shared aspirations that bind the Maldives and China together.
Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, our partnership continues to grow from strength to strength, creating new opportunities for our people and opening new horizons for our shared future.
On this 8th anniversary, I reaffirm the Maldives’ commitment to nurturing this everlasting friendship and building an even stronger partnership with China.

The truth should never be optional. Accountability and accuracy matters. And the public deserves better than narratives built on half-truths and outright lies.
Do better. Report better. Truth isn’t a trend—it’s a responsibility as well.
