According to the press release, a total of 2800 units of 3 bedrooms and 3 toilets, and, 1200 units of 2 bedrooms and 2 toilets will be constructed under the two projects.

Maldives Minister of Foreign Affairs Moosa Zameer congratulated S Jaishankar on his second term as External Affairs Minister of India in the newly constituted cabinet of the BJP-led NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While congratulating Jaishankar on his reappointment as EAM, Moosa Zameer said that he looked forward to closely working with him to enhance the ties between the two nations.

“Warm congratulations to @DrSJaishankar on your reappointment as the Minister of External Affairs of #India. I look forward to working closely with you to enhance our relationship, fostering greater cooperation and shared prosperity between our two countries,” Moosa Zameer posted on X.
