During official talks, both leaders agreed to sustain the momentum of dialogue established during the visit, focusing on expanding cooperation in areas of mutual interest through enhanced high-level exchanges.

At the Maldives–Germany Business Roundtable, German companies were briefed on investment opportunities in the Maldives. In his remarks, the President highlighted progress on economic reforms and invited German businesses to explore emerging opportunities as the Maldives diversifies its economy. The roundtable concluded with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Visit Maldives and DERTOUR Deutschland GmbH to strengthen cooperation in destination promotion and marketing.
