Today, an Air India plane will land in Male’ with 100,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine - a gift from India. For 🇲🇻 it’s the beginning of the end of this terrible virus. During tsunami, ‘88 coup, water crisis or corona 🦠, 🇮🇳 has been our first responder and dependable friend.
As Indian polls close, congratulations are in order for
@narendramodi
and the BJP. I am sure the Maldives people and Govt will be delighted to continue their close cooperation with the PM and the BJP-led Govt.
The super low cost development assistance announced by
@DrSJaishankar
today is exactly what Maldives needs. Genuine help from a friend, to help us build critical infrastructure. Rather than eye-wateringly expensive commercial loans that leaves the nation mired in debt.
@PMOIndia
I sincerely thank 🇮🇳 Prime Minister Modi
@PMOIndia
and his Government for prioritizing regional safety and aiding neighboring countries so swiftly.

What appalling language by Maldives Government official
@shiuna_m
towards the leader of a key ally, that is instrumental for Maldives’ security and prosperity.
@MMuizzu
gov must distance itself from these comments and give clear assurance to India they do not reflect gov policy.
Huge congrats to
@anwaribrahim
for becoming Malaysia’s new Prime Minister. A remarkable feat in a remarkable career that’s zigzagged from DPM to jail, head of reformist movement, back to jail, but now PM. Shows what’s possible when you never give up despite the odds.
@n_izzah
On behalf of Maldivian people we humbly request:
1. India to send envoy, backed by its military, to release judges & pol. detainees inc. Prez. Gayoom. We request a physical presence.
2. The US to stop all financial transactions of Maldives regime leaders going through US banks.
Over the next 14 days, Maldives Treasury must pay over $15m to Chinese banks. These banks have not, thus far, given any concessions for these loans. These repayments represent over 50% of government income over next 14 days. After Covid, Maldives needs breathing space. 💰💰💰 🤷🏽♂️
Congratulations to President Elect
@ibusolih
. You have done an extremely good service to not only to the people of Maldives, but also to freedom loving people everywhere. Democracy is a historical inevitability.
I have always believed Dr. Jaishankar to be one of the best thinkers in statecraft and international diplomacy. So nice to have you
@DrSJaishankar
in Male’ today.
Early election results confirm what many of us predicted: Indian Prime Minister
@narendramodi
has won big in the general election. Heartfelt congratulations to the PM from the Maldives! We very much look forward to continuing our close co-operation with you and your government.
Had the pleasure of speaking today with Indian Prime Minister
@narendramodi
, and yesterday with External Affairs Minister
@SushmaSwaraj
. I assured them we will use our Majlis majority responsibly: implement manifesto pledges; consolidate democracy; ensure Indian Ocean stability.
A wonderful sight: 100,000 doses of AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine, made by the Serum Institute of India under the brandname 'Covishield', arrives in Maldives. Serum Institute is world's biggest vaccine maker - producing vaccines for Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus, BCG etc.

As a new dawn breaks in the Maldives, it’s heartbreaking to see Sri Lanka in such difficulty. I hope Sri Lanka will soon come out of this predicament. Sri Lankans are like our cousins, and Maldivians celebrate today only because of Sri Lanka’s help and support
We can only ensure peace and stability across South Asia when Pakistan turns the page on terrorism, and definitively moves against terror groups operating from its territory.
We finally have the official election results. The people of the
#Maldives
have said a resounding no to autocratic strong man politics. They have endorsed democracy again. Thank you and congratulations to President-elect
@ibusolih
. A very proud moment.
🇱🇰 President GR has resigned. I hope Sri Lanka can now move forward. I believe the President would not have resigned if he were still in Sri Lanka, and fearful of losing his life. I commend the thoughtful actions of the Govt of Maldives. My best wishes to the people of Sri Lanka.
Good to see Leopoldo López out from house arrest. Let’s hope for a swift end to the illegitimate, incompetent, and thuggish Maduro regime, so Venezuelans can enjoy freedom, democracy, and prosperity.

Horrified by the events in Sri Lanka this morning. My prayers go out to those who have been affected. Whichever sick group or ideology is behind this deserves everyone’s rejection and condemnation.
Saying ‘resolve things internally’ is akin to asking us to escalate the revolt, which can lead to chaos. Maldivians see India’s role positively: in ‘88 they came, resolved the crisis, and left. They were not occupiers but liberators. This is why Maldivians look to India now.
I'm delighted that Maldives has been elected President of the UN General Assembly. It's a great day for us, for small island states, and for climate vulnerable countries everywhere. Congratulations

I have been charged and imprisoned over 14 times, mostly for writing dissenting journalism. Congratulations to President Gayoom for receiving the honour marking the Diamond Jubilee of Maldives Journalism.
I have been horrified watching the news about Gaza's bombardment.Israel must stop the attacks & the hostilities must end.The blockade must be lifted so Palestinians can trade, earn a living,live their lives.The only way to a lasting peace is the two-state solution.

Thank you to Hon.
@FaisalNasym
for your hard work in the campaign as running mate. It was also the combined chemistry of the ticket that has resulted in this election victory.
Israel should end the illegal occupation of Palestine immediately and return the lands forcefully seized from Palestinians. Israel should recognize Palestine as an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital within 1967 borders and allow the immediate return of refugees.
Mohamed Morsi’s death is an outrage and a disgrace. He should never have been in prison, nor deposed in a coup, and the int. community should never have acknowledged the post coup regime. May Allah grant Prez Morsi paradise and give strength to his family
Thank you Bundestag President
@Wolf_Schauble

Welcome tonight’s SC ruling calling for the immediate release of political prisoners and the restoration of their civil and political rights. President Yameen must abide by this ruling and resign. Urge all citizens to avoid confrontation and engage in peaceful political activity.
With this election victory, the members and supporters of the Maldivian Democratic Party have yet again pulled the

back from the brink of authoritarian rule. Your imagination and hard work will never be forgotten in Maldives’ history.
Huge disaster averted & 🙏🏽: Sri Lankan, Indian coastguards have contained fire onboard oil tanker off SL, which threatened massive oil spill that could have reached Maldives. Operation inc. SL, Indian, Russian ships, &

Travelling with President

to Abu Dhabi on the invitation from the Government of UAE. Our visit will enhance the already outstanding bilateral relations between Maldives and UAE
If we at this juncture try to find an amicable arrangement for my freedom with the now defunct Maldives Supreme Court, it will not further our ambitions for judicial reform in the Maldives. I will go to the Maldives on 01 November, come what may
A big vote of thanks to Govt,

Very encouraging to see greater numbers of civil servants standing up for their principles and the constitution. Your efforts are timely and very welcome.
75 years ago, at the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world slept, India awaked to life and freedom. Since then it has become a military & economic world power, lifting millions of its people from poverty. Happy Independence Day to the people and PM of India.
@PMOIndia
14 years ago today, authoritarian rule was forced to relent & organised, peaceful politics started taking form. The Maldives’ 1st pol. party, MDP, was registered on that day; a collective effort of many generations of Maldivians. Congratulations to all MDP members & supporters

Thousands protest across the Maldives against President Yameen’s refusal to enforce the Supreme Court ruling to release political prisoners. President Yameen must step down, allow for interim Govt to facilitate free, fair and inclusive elections in the Maldives.
I strongly condemn the terror attack that has claimed the lives of atleast 34 Indian paramilitary soldiers. Terror cannot and should not be tolerated! We stand with our friends in India in this difficult time
Dear
@shiuz
and all artists who have supported the cause of democracy in the Maldives, thank you so much for the kind words and more for the excellent music.
My heartfelt congratulations to the joint opposition parties who have today agreed to field a common Presidential ticket. A MDP presidential candidate with a JP running mate, backed by the whole opposition. I believe this is the way forward in restoring democracy in the Maldives.
Happy to meet and thank former PM
@David_Cameron
for his role in facilitating my exile. The opposition's ability to work peacefully from abroad helped lead to the demise of President Yameen’s authoritarian rule back home.
Under the guise of an emergency, Pres Yameen has gone after the opposition, judiciary, parliament, and now the media.
@Raajje_tv
stops broadcast following multiple threats, & intimidation from the security services. Press freedom must be guaranteed for all.
