Ref: 2025/PR/29
The Government of the Republic of Maldives reiterates its firm and unwavering support for the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its Capital, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions and international law.
The Maldives rejects all policies and actions that undermine the prospects for achieving peace in the region, including the continued expansion of illegal settlements, land annexation and any attempts to displace the population of the Gaza Strip. The Maldives further reiterates its support for the full membership of Palestine in the United Nations.
The Maldives calls on the international community to take all necessary measures to uphold international law and to protect the rights of the Palestinian people. A political solution remains the only viable path to achieving lasting peace, where two independent states can coexist in security, dignity and mutual recognition.
