On this #GlobalDayofParents, we honour the selfless commitment of parents whose lifelong sacrifice nurtures the foundation of our families. Their love and resilience shape future generations, the strength of our nation, and we stand together for parents in recognizing their vital role in Maldivian society.
This administration remains steadfast in supporting parents and protecting every child’s future, by investing in education, healthcare, and community programs that uphold the Maldivian tradition of family as the cornerstone of our society.
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. 🇲🇻🇬🇧
Deepest condolences to President Sergio Mattarella and the people of Italy following the tragic diving incident in Vaavu Atoll, Maldives yesterday. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased Italian, the missing four Italians and everyone affected.
The search for the 4 remaining missing divers remains our highest priority, and the Government of the Maldives appreciates the support from the Government of Italy to the ongoing extensive recovery operation.

Thank you President @anuradisanayake.
As I conclude a successful State Visit to Sri Lanka, I depart with renewed resolve to further strengthen the close and longstanding relations between the Maldives and Sri Lanka. I thank the Government and people of Sri Lanka for the warm hospitality and friendship extended to me, my wife and delegation.
I am encouraged by the productive discussions held with Your Excellency, as well as Prime Minister @Dr_HariniA, on a myriad of issues, and look forward to working together to implement our shared commitments into meaningful outcomes, for the mutual benefit and prosperity of our two nations. Long live the 🇲🇻-🇱🇰 Friendship. Thank you Sri Lanka.
@NickDLow A healthy democracy relies on an informed public, not the spread of unverified or false narratives. When media outlets prioritize sensationalism over factual accuracy, it threatens public discourse and national stability.
