President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has sent a message of condolence to the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, His Majesty King Charles III, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch whose rule spanned seven decades, who died on Thursday at the age of 96.
President stated that he is deeply grieved to hear of the passing of your beloved mother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The people of the Maldives join the rest of the Commonwealth in mourning this unfathomable loss. As a nation, Maldivians fondly remember Her Majesty’s visit to the Maldives on 13 March 1972. The Maldives regret and commemorate Her Majesty’s extraordinary life of continued service to Great Britain and the Commonwealth as a stabilizing force toward peace and progress.
