President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and First Lady Fazna Ahmed have returned home to the Maldives after traveling to Singapore on an unofficial trip.

The First Couple departed for Singapore on the 14th of this month and returned on Sunday night. The President's Office had not revealed any more information about the couple's trip to Singapore.

The President had gone to Singapore in February following advice from his doctors to get treatment for his Thyroid condition abroad.

He had then announced that he had to get surgery and had said that he would be temporarily stepping aside from his role as President and leaving them to Vice President Faisal Naseem while the President went under the knife.

Vice President Faisal was then sworn in as President the following Friday but hours later President Solih resumed his duties having had a successful surgery.
