The Parliament of the Maldives has passed to rename the Embassy of the Maldives in Washington to the Embassy of the Maldives to the United States of America (USA).
The announcement to change the name was made public through a directive released by the President's Office. The decision was made under the discretion vested in the President by Section 116(a) of the Constitution of the Maldives. The number 488 should be used in all official documents sent to the Maldivian embassy in the USA following the change.
The Parliament approved the decision with 59 votes in favour.
