The Maldivian government has pledged MVR 1 million in humanitarian assistance to support Nepal’s recovery efforts following severe flooding and landslides that struck the Himalayan nation late last month.
President Muizzu announced the financial contribution on Friday, confirming that the funds will go directly to the Nepal Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund. The financial assistance follows torrential rains on 26 August 2026, which triggered widespread landslides and devastating floods across several regions of Nepal, causing loss of life and massive infrastructure damage.

In an official statement released by the President’s Office, President Muizzu extended his heartfelt sympathies to the government and people of Nepal. He reaffirmed the Maldives’ solidarity with the disaster-stricken country and emphasized the importance of regional cooperation during natural crises.
The two South Asian nations have maintained official diplomatic relations since establishing formal ties in 1980. Maldivian officials highlighted that the gesture reinforces Maldives’ ongoing commitment to supporting neighbouring countries across the region in times of need.
