President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has reaffirmed the strong and enduring relationship between the Maldives and Malaysia, extending warm greetings to the Southeast Asian nation on the occasion of its Independence Day.
In a congratulatory message shared on social media, the President conveyed best wishes to King Sultan Ibrahim, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the Government of Malaysia, and the Malaysian people. His remarks reflected a spirit of friendship and underscored the value of bilateral cooperation.
“Malaysia remains a valued partner and friend of the Maldives,” President Muizzu stated. “We deeply appreciate the strong connections between our governments and the people, and we hope to continue working together to strengthen our cooperation.”
Malaysia marks its Independence Day annually on 31 August, commemorating its liberation from British colonial rule in 1957. This year’s celebrations mark the country’s 68th year of independence — a milestone that continues to resonate across the region.
The Maldives and Malaysia enjoy longstanding diplomatic, economic, and educational ties, with Malaysia being a key destination for Maldivian students and a close partner in regional affairs.
