Pakistan congratulates Muizzu on presidential election victory

The Pakistan government has congratulated the Maldivian President-elect Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on his election victory.

In a post on X on Sunday, the Pakistan High Commission said that Muizzu’s victory was reflective of the trust the people of Maldives have in Muizzu.

The Pakistan government wished Maldives “great progress, development and prosperity” under Muizzu’s leadership.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also congratulated Muizzu on his victory. He also reaffirmed India’s commitment to strengthening its relations with Maldives.

Muizzu, from the opposition PPM-PNC coalition, won the presidential election runoff held on Saturday with 54 percent of votes, beating MDP’s Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, the incumbent president, who won 46 percent.
