The High Commission of Bangladesh in Maldives (Bengali: মালদ্বীপে বাংলাদেশ হাইকমিশন,) is a high commission office established by Bangladesh in Malé, the capital of the Maldives.

History

Relations between Bangladesh and the Maldives were established on September 22, 1978.[1]

For nearly 20 years after the establishment of diplomatic relations, no High Commissioner or Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary was stationed there, but on 8 August 1998, the High Commissioner's Office was opened in Malé,[2] and Major General Harun Ahmed Chowdhury was stationed there. He was appointed as the first High Commissioner.[3]

The mission was the Embassy of Bangladesh in the Maldives (Bengali: মালদ্বীপে বাংলাদেশ দূতাবাস) from October 2016, when the Maldives left the Commonwealth, until February 2020.[4] [5]

On 1 February 2020, when the Maldives returned to its status as a Commonwealth republic, this overseas mission reverted to the Bangladesh High Commission.

In July 2021, the High Commission changed locations from Malé to Hulhumalé (both administratively belong to Malé).
