Tonight, President
@MMuizzu inaugurated the new Hanimadhoo International Airport, marking the completion of a major project that began with assistance from the Indian government during President
@ibusolih’s administration. My deepest gratitude to President
@ibusolih for this great initiative and to the Prime Minister of India Shri
@narendramodi , the government and people of India for their generous assistance.
It is indeed ironic that President
@MMuizzu and his colleagues, while in opposition, labeled the Hanimaadhoo Airport Project as an Indian military initiative. Construction workers were falsely called Indian soldiers, fueling a dangerous nationalist narrative. Every Indian‑supported project was politicized to inflame anti‑India sentiment, turning international cooperation into a political weapon. Yet, in a striking twist of fate, President Muizzu has now inaugurated the very project his campaign once vilified—a project made possible by the same partners his government sought to demonize.
