Germany being an important trade and investment partner of the Maldives and one of the main source markets for the Maldives' tourism industry, there was always a need to have a resident diplomatic presence to increase engagements and boost relations further. For this purpose, a resident Embassy was officially opened on 28 September 2016 by His Excellency Mohamed Asim, the then Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Maldives.

To date, 4 Ambassadors have been appointed to Germany with 3 resident in Berlin.
