MALE, 14 April, 2021 (TON): The Chinese Embassy in the Maldives has congratulated Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, the newly elected mayor of Male’ City and former Housing Minister.

Muizzu won the local elections held last Saturday.

The interim head of the Chinese Embassy in the Maldives congratulated the Mayor-elect on his win yesterday in a phone call.

Opposition-backed Muizzu won the elections for the mayor of Male’ City by a landslide, competing with Anas Abdul Sattar who was backed by the governing MDP. 

Opposition parties also enjoyed a wide win in the council seats for the capital. 

However, Maldivian-Chinese cooperation in boosting ties is long, as massive infrastructure development projects were carried out in the Maldives by China, that too during Muizzu’s tenure as Housing Minister.

The projects include the Sinamale’ Bridge also known as the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge and the Hiyaa Housing Project.
