In response to the Maldives' severe water shortage, China has donated 1,500 tonnes of drinking water sourced from glaciers in Tibet. This donation is part of China's ongoing support to the Maldives since President Dr Mohamed Muizzu took office. The water, known for its cleanliness and mineral richness, was shipped following discussions between Chinese officials and President Muizzu. This aid complements China's previous assistance, including free military equipment and training. The Maldives, facing extreme water scarcity, will distribute the donated water to islands in need.
