editDiplomatic relations between Pakistan and the Maldives were established on 26 July 1965.[3] Adam Hassan was the first permanent High Commissioner on 3 June 2008.[4]
When the Maldives left the Commonwealth of Nations in October 2016, the High Commission was changed to the Embassy of the Maldives, Islamabad (Dhivehi: ޕާކިސްތާނުގައި ހުންނަ ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ އެމްބަސީ, Urdu: پاکستان میں مالدیپ سفارت خانے, also known as the Embassy of the Maldives in Pakistan).[5][6] On 1 February 2020, when the Maldives returned and once again became a Commonwealth Republic, the Embassy was reverted to the High Commission.[1][7]
