President Mohamed Muizzu announced that an underwater tunnel will connect Ras Malé to Malé City, describing it as the first of its kind in the world and a major tourism project. He spoke at the swearing-in ceremony of the Malé City Mayor and councillors who had won the by-election, while reclamation at Fushidhiggarufalhu for the Ras Malé project is scheduled for completion within eight months.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The reclamation at Fushidhiggarufalhu, where the Ras Malé project commenced on 18 December 2023, and is approximately 17 minutes from Malé by sea, is scheduled to be completed within eight months.

The first underwater tunnel in the world will be established to connect Malé and Ras Malé. The tunnel will be one that will provide beautiful views of the sea… This is [also] a major tourism project. This will increase the number of touris…
Hopefully people who live in the Malé area will live in connected spaces.
I assure you, with great determination, hopefully. We will work with the cooperation of all the councils. This is not a political issue. This is a national issue… If you put political thinking first in this, the people will suffer.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
A total of 1,153 hectares of land is set to be reclaimed under the project.
