Mr. Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom, President of the Maldives, made an Official Visit to Japan on the invitation of the Government of Japan.

During the visit the two countries agreed to expand and accelerate their cooperation based on over forty years of friendship and trust.

Japan opened its resident mission in Male’ from 1 January 2016. The official opening ceremony was held 8 February 2016.
