President Muizzu Rises to Defend the Nation: $100M Boost as Threats Loom Near Maldives

By Ahmed Ashraf Published April 1, 2025

In a decisive move to fortify the Maldives’ sovereignty and ensure national tranquility, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has re-enacted Decree No. 6/2025. This decree significantly elevates the minimum investment for projects aimed at safeguarding the nation’s independence from $15 million to an assertive $100 million. The timing of this strategic initiative aligns with escalating regional tensions, notably Iran’s recent threats towards the US-UK military base on Diego Garcia.

Diego Garcia, a strategic military installation located approximately 1,275 kilometers south of Malé, has become a focal point of geopolitical friction. Iranian military officials have signaled intentions to target this base should hostilities with the United States intensify. Given the Maldives’ geographical positioning between Tehran and Diego Garcia, any conflict in the region could have direct implications for Maldives.

President Muizzu’s proactive approach reflects a deep understanding of the dynamic geopolitical landscape and a steadfast dedication to preserving the Maldives’ peace and sovereignty. By substantially increasing the financial allocation for national security projects, the government aims to implement robust measures that will effectively shield the nation from external threats and maintain internal stability.

The decree outlines specific initiatives that the government plans to implement under this policy, detailing the areas where these projects will be carried out and the minimum expenditure required for each. While the exact details of these projects remain confidential for security reasons, it is evident that the government is prioritizing the enhancement of infrastructure and strategic assets critical to national defense.

This move has garnered widespread support among Maldivians, who view it as a necessary step in preserving the nation’s cherished independence. As regional dynamics continue to evolve, the Maldives stands firm in its dedication to peace, stability, and the protection of its sovereignty.
