Maldives Customs to Acquire Drones From US, China
Commissioner General of Customs Yoosuf Maniu Mohamed confirmed that the Maldives Customs Service will acquire drones from the United States and China for border monitoring.

Two drones from China and one from the US will be delivered next year. An MOU with the MNDF Air Corps ensures collaboration to avoid duplication of state expenditure.
