Alia has donated a Yamaha 150 horsepower engine to the biosphere reserve maintained by the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy.

The Ceremony took place at the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy. Yamaha's outboard engine was handed over to the Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Energy Mr. Thoriq Ibrahim, by Alau Ali, Managing Director, Alia Investments.

Speaking on the occasion, Minister Mr. Thoriq Ibrahim congratulated the management and employees of Alia Investment on the completion of 60 years of its business. He also thanked the company, that has a long history of business in the country, for taking the initiative.

Minister Thoriq noted that this was the first and most valuable gift from a private company to the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy.

This year marks the successful 60th anniversary of Alia's business; a company that has revolutionized the country's oceans in terms of travel. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Yamaha outboard engine in the Maldives by Alia and the exemplary delivery of their quality after-sales services.
