The Government of the United Arab Emirates has donated two sanitization trucks to the Maldives as further assistance to support the Government’s efforts in responding to COVID-19. This donation will facilitate to disinfect public areas and contribute to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, specifically as life continues with ease of restrictions and steps of normalcy.

The Government of Maldives has expressed its immense gratitude to the Leadership, the Government and the brotherly people of the United Arab Emirates for the donation and the consistent priority given by the United Arab Emirates towards the needs of the people of Maldives.

This donation of sanitization trucks which followed the substantial donation of 72 tonnes of crucial medical equipment and supplies worth AED 18,331,425.00 (≈ USD 5 million) by the Government of United Arab Emirates in June this year, will significantly scale up the Maldives’ capacity for combatting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

These generous donations to the people of Maldives reflects the close bond of friendship and the significant historic ties between the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.
