The Maldives was elected to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the 2027–2029 term with 183 votes at elections held at UN Headquarters in New York, marking its first ECOSOC membership since joining the UN in 1965. Foreign Minister Iruthisham Adam and Permanent Representative Dr. Ali Naseer Mohamed both welcomed the result, with the term commencing on 1 January 2027.
Official source only Only Ministry of Foreign Affairs has published this among the sources we monitor: no independent report seen. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The election of the Maldives to ECOSOC for the first time is a proud and historic moment for our country. It reflects the international community's confidence and trust in the Maldives, and the foreign policy of President Dr Mohamed Muizzu.
The election of the Maldives to ECOSOC is both an honour and a responsibility. It is an acknowledgement of the consistent advocacy of the Maldives for sustainable development and climate resilience.
During our term, we will work with all Member States to strengthen ECOSOC's role as a platform for implementation, partnership, and practical solutions
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The Maldives obtained 183 votes in the election.
