Businessman Mohamed Solih (Damas Solih) has been awarded the Order of the Dignified Rule of Muleege Dynasty in recognition of his contributions to the development of business and commercial services in the Maldives.

The honour recognises Solih’s role in introducing new business services, supporting the growth of commerce, and promoting the tourism sector, including initiatives to develop environmentally sustainable tourism.

In addition to his work in tourism, Solih established Medica Hospital in Malé and has served on several state boards and committees.
