On the joyous occasion of Azerbaijan’s Independence Day, I wish to extend my heartfelt felicitations to His Excellency President Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev @presidentaz, His Excellency Prime Minister Ali Hidayat oglu Asadov, the Government, and the people of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has come a long way since its independence, charting the course of its development in line with the aspirations of its people. I wish Azerbaijan bright days in the future.
Our bilateral engagements in recent years have explored the immense potential for expanding commerce and people-to-people ties between our countries. I am pleased with the progress made to expand our cooperation in these areas and beyond.
Greetings and good wishes to Rt. Honourable Ramchandra Paudel @OOP_Nepal, Rt. Honourable Prime Minister Balendra Shah @PM_nepal_, the Government, and the neighbourly people of Nepal on their Republic Day. This historic day underscores the countless contributions Nepalis have made to build a progressive nation, one whose unique identity and rich traditions are honoured simultaneously.
The Maldives deeply values its amicable ties with Nepal. We have always prioritised advancing mutually beneficial interests for the progress of the people of our two countries. I have no doubt that we can continue our efforts to maintain our strong relations as we explore additional avenues that benefit both sides.
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.
