On August 16, 2014, an exchange of letters between Maldives and China was signed that stipulated that China was to provide 150 police motorcycles to the Maldives Police Service. On January 20, 2015, the Chinese Embassy to the Maldives handed over the donated motorcycles to the Maldives Police Service in Malé, Maldives. The estimated cost of these motorcycles was RMB 2 million, according to the Maldives Police Service. The vehicles were intended to help strengthen Maldivian law enforcement. The Maldives Police Service stated that the motorcycles would allow the police to perform their duties more efficiently and swiftly. According to Miadhu, the majority of the motorcycles were to be sent to different islands to improve their police service.
