Former ECM President Fuwad Thoufeeq nominated as Ambassador to Thailand

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has nominated former President of the Election Commission of Maldives (ECM) Fuwad Thoufeeq as the next Ambassador of Maldives to Thailand.

The nomination follows the expiration of Fuwad’s term of office at the ECM. The matter has been forwarded to the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Relations Committee for review, as required under the Foreign Service Act, which mandates parliamentary consent for ambassadorial appointments.

Fuwad Thoufeeq has a long and distinguished history with the ECM. He first joined the commission in 2008 as a member and was appointed as its President in 2009. He served in this capacity until March 2014, after which he resigned. In 2019, Fuwad returned to the commission and has since made significant contributions as its President, earning recognition for his leadership and efforts in overseeing transparent and successful electoral processes.

If approved by Parliament, Fuwad will represent the Maldives in Thailand, strengthening diplomatic ties and fostering bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
