On July 5 1934, Vuzarat Al-Kharijiyya was renamed to Mahkamat Al-Kharijiyya (Department of Foreign Affairs).

On 19 May 1975, the name was changed to the Department of External Affairs, before changing back to the Ministry of External Affairs on 11 March 1978. On 14 March 1978, Uz. Fathulla Jameel was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he'd continue to serve as the Minister with distinction for 27 years, being the Maldives’ longest serving Minister of Foreign Affairs. On 10 November 1982, the Ministry of External Affairs was renamed to its current name, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In honour of the late Minister Uz.
