China has been a steadfast partner in the development journey of the Maldives, and the Maldivian side is confident that the bonds of friendship and cooperation between the Maldives and China will grow stronger, Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu has said.
The Chinese Embassy in the Maldives held a reception on Monday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Addressing the event, Muizzu said that despite geographical distance, the bonds of friendship have grown stronger over the years.
“Our partnership, rooted in common aspirations for peace, development and cooperation, is one that both nations cherish deeply,” Muizzu said. “The landmark China-Maldives Friendship Bridge is a shining symbol of this enduring partnership, a daily reminder of the strength and possibilities that arise when two nations come together with a shared vision for the future,” Muizzu said.
