President Muizzu says Singapore visit has elevated bilateral relations

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu stated today that his official visit to Singapore has elevated the relationship between the Maldives and Singapore to a new level.

In a social media post marking the conclusion of his visit, President Muizzu said that discussions held during the trip would further strengthen bilateral ties. The visit, made at the invitation of Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, took place from June 29 to July 2.

President Muizzu highlighted the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between the two countries, focusing on cooperation in capacity building, environmental issues, and higher education, including educational policy and technical fields.

He also emphasized the potential business opportunities generated by the investment forum held in Singapore as part of the visit. The forum was attended by around 250 participants from the Maldives.

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Maldives and Singapore, the President described the visit as a step forward in deepening that relationship.

During the trip, President Muizzu met with Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. He also visited key institutions to gather insights into Singapore’s development and governance models.
