The Maldives National Defence Force on Monday expressed solidarity with New Zealand after the mosque attacks in Christchurch by displaying a silver fern at the Bandaara Koshi headquarters.
The silver fern symbol of New Zealand was put up on a five-storey-high screen on the side of the MNDF building in the capital Malé’s Republic Square.
“To God we belong and surely to him we return,” was written in Arabic below the symbol.
The silver fern was also projected onto the Sydney Opera House in solidarity, a day after 50 people were killed in the mass shootings.
