President H.E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu thanks Turkish President H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for his steadfast support in enhancing the Maldives National Defence Force’s capabilities, acknowledging the significant contribution to the island nation’s military strengthening.

London, England, United Kingdom – March 18, 2024 —

Maafaru, Noonu Atoll, Maldives – During the inaugural ceremony of the Maldives National Defence Force’s (MNDF) Air Corps and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) held at Maafaru International Airport, President H.E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, Commander-in-Chief of MNDF, extended heartfelt gratitude towards the President of the Republic of Türkiye, H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, for his significant contribution towards enhancing the Maldives’ military capabilities.

Highlighting a major milestone in maritime surveillance, President Dr. Muizzu underscored the critical role played by President Erdoğan in the acquisition of three UAVs, which will serve to monitor Maldivian waters for the first time. This achievement, largely facilitated through grant aid from Türkiye, marks the beginning of a new era in national security and defence capabilities for the Maldives. 

President Dr. Muizzu expressed optimism about further expanding this fleet through the ongoing strong bilateral relations between the Maldives and Türkiye. He also shed light on the administration’s broader defence strategy, which includes doubling the size of the Coast Guard fleet with vessels of various sizes and further augmenting military capabilities through collaborations with Türkiye and other friendly nations.

This partnership not only reinforces the Maldives‘ commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty and enhancing its national defence mechanisms but also exemplifies the enduring friendship and cooperation between the Maldives and Türkiye.

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, leading the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) as Commander-in-Chief, inaugurated the MNDF Air Corps and integrated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) into its operations.

London, England, United Kingdom – March 18, 2024 —

The inauguration of the MNDF Air Corps and the integration of UAV technology mark a significant advancement in the Maldives’ military infrastructure. This strategic development is poised to play a crucial role in safeguarding the nation’s independence, sovereignty, and maritime security. The deployment of UAVs within the Air Corps is set to bolster the nation’s surveillance capabilities, enhancing the monitoring of maritime territories and providing a deterrent against illicit activities.

During the ceremony, President Muizzu conducted the official introduction of the UAVs and signed a decree initiating air surveillance operations across the Maldivian archipelago. In recognition of this momentous occasion, a ceremonial seven-gun salute was rendered, celebrating the introduction of UAV and air surveillance capabilities to the MNDF.

I’ve joyously volunteered my time to capture portraits of these incredible children and their families, symbolizing hope and strength in the face of adversity. Together, Laura and I are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of these brave individuals and supporting Rally Foundation’s vital mission.”

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa proudly announces its Green Globe certification, marking a major milestone in its commitment to sustainable tourism. This recognition celebrates the resort’s dedication to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and cultural heritage preservation in the Maldives.

London, England, United Kingdom – March 18, 2024 —

Male, Maldives – In a significant stride towards sustainable tourism, the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is honoured to announce its achievement of the Green Globe certification. This esteemed accolade is a testament to the resort’s steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Recognised for its rigorous adherence to Green Globe’s stringent sustainability criteria, the resort has distinguished itself with an impressive compliance score of 86%. This score reflects the resort’s excellence across the four pillars of Sustainable Management, Social and Economic Responsibility, Cultural Heritage Preservation, and Environmental Conservation, evaluated through more than 380 indicators.

Mohamed El Aghoury, General Manager, expressed pride in this recognition: “As the travel landscape evolves towards greater ecological awareness, it is imperative for us to lead by example in sustainability. This achievement is a testament to our team’s relentless effort and commitment. We’re honoured to be pioneers in sustainable tourism within the Marriott International portfolio in the Maldives.”

Why Sheraton Maldives Stands Out

Nestled on Furanafushi Island in North Male Atoll, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa has become a beacon for Maldives holidays, offering an all-inclusive experience that goes beyond just luxury accommodations. Renowned for its commitment to sustainability, the resort integrates innovative environmental practices, making it a choice destination for guests seeking meaningful and responsible Maldives packages. The resort’s comprehensive approach to sustainability, coupled with its luxurious amenities and exceptional service, positions it as one of the premier hotels in the Maldives.

Innovative Sustainability Practices

Under the guidance of Hassan Nafiu, Director of Engineering, the resort has undertaken significant initiatives such as partnering with Reefscapers in the ‘Adopt A Coral’ program, leading to the planting of over 567 coral frames and enhancing marine biodiversity. The introduction of an INNCOMM system for energy-efficient room conditioning and the forthcoming Biogas plant for organic waste management underscore the resort’s innovative approach to sustainability.

Moreover, the resort’s commitment to reducing plastic waste is evident in its onsite water bottling plant, which employs reverse osmosis technology to provide purified water in reusable glass containers, saving approximately 375,000 plastic bottles annually.

Engagement with Local Community and Cultural Preservation

Beyond environmental efforts, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa actively engages with the local community, supporting educational initiatives and celebrating Maldivian culture through weekly events. The resort’s dedication to preserving the Maldives’ rich cultural heritage while offering an authentic experience makes it a sought-after destination for those planning Maldives holidays.

Aligned with Marriott International’s ‘Serve 360: Doing Good in Every Direction’ platform, the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa extends an invitation to guests worldwide to partake in a travel experience that not only caters to luxury and relaxation but also contributes positively to the environment and local communities.

The ‘Real Estate Business Bill,’ presented by Thoddoo MP Hassan Shiyan, seeks to reform the Maldives’ real estate industry. Highlighting sustainable development, promotion, and accountability, its initial reading in Parliament signals a pivotal advancement for the sector, addressing existing challenges and fostering growth.

London, England, United Kingdom – March 18, 2024 —

Male, Maldives – In a significant initiative to revolutionise the real estate sector, the Maldives Parliament has initiated the review of the newly drafted ‘Real Estate Business Bill’. Introduced by Thoddoo MP Hassan Shiyan during Wednesday’s session, this comprehensive legislation is poised to address longstanding challenges within the real estate industry, focusing on livelihood and commercial endeavors.

Aimed at establishing a robust framework for sustainable development, promotion, and enhanced accountability within the sector, the Bill mandates all real estate projects, developers, and promoters to register with the Ministry of Housing, Land, and Urban Development. This prerequisite for ministry approval and ongoing project monitoring ensures adherence to planned timelines.

Historical instances of stalled real estate projects and investor losses without recourse underscore the need for this legislation. The ‘Real Estate Business Bill’ introduces several protective measures for buyers, including:

– Mandatory disclosure of project timelines, plans, and relevant information.

– The right for buyers to inspect project sites and monitor work progress.

– Entitlement to compensation for project-related losses.

– Prohibition on advertising projects without Ministry registration.

– Obligations for developers to specify unit delivery dates in agreements and to limit booking fees.

– Assurance of compensation for significant deviations in unit development.

– Requirement for developers to maintain buyer payments in escrow accounts, ensuring financial transparency and project viability.

– Establishment of a complaint submission system regarding projects.

Violations of the Act’s provisions will result in strict penalties, including fines and potential permit revocations, underscoring the government’s dedication to establishing a fair and transparent real estate market. The Ministry of Housing, Land, and Urban Development is empowered to levy fines based on the severity of infractions, further ensuring market integrity.

What Makes The Maldives one of the Most Popular Destination in the World

The Maldives is celebrated globally as a top destination for unparalleled natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and luxurious resorts. Its status as a premier choice for holidays, all-inclusive packages, and Maldives honeymoons is unrivalled. Offering modern, spacious, and stylish villas along with a wide range of recreational facilities, the Maldives provides an extraordinary escape for families, couples, friends, solo travelers, and honeymooners alike. The introduction of the ‘Real Estate Business Bill’ signifies a pivotal moment for enhancing the Maldives’ appeal by ensuring sustainable and responsible growth in the real estate sector, further solidifying its reputation as a paradise on earth.
