Maldives:25/7/25:  Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and H. E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, President of the Republic of Maldives, released commemorative stamps on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of India-Maldives diplomatic relations.

Reflecting the age-old bilateral ties between the two countries, the commemorative stamps depict the Indian boat Uru, a large wooden dhow handcrafted in the historic boatyards of Beypore, Kerala, and the traditional Maldivian fishing boat – Vadhu Dhoni. These boats have been part of the Indian Ocean trade for centuries. The traditional Maldivian fishing boat – Vadhu Dhoni – is used for reef and coastal fishing. It depicts Maldives’s rich maritime heritage and the close bond between island life and the ocean.

India was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with the Maldives following its independence in 1965. The commemorative stamps’ release symbolizes the close and historical ties between the two countries.
