During Hilmy's leaderships as ministers and vice presidency, Maldives faced extraordinary revolutionary deployments in fishing and economic industries.

[6] This renewed enmity was a consequence of King Muhammad Shamsuddeen III's decision not to transfer the prime ministerial power to the Kakaage family, instead appointing Athireege Abdul Majeed Didi.

Hilmy Didi was educated at Zahira College,[4] in Colombo, Ceylon, where he became fluent in both English and Sinhala language.

[9][10][11] He served as vice president along with Abdul Sattar Moosa Didi, Ibrahim Shihab, Ali Umar Maniku and Hassan Zareer.

[12][13] As vice president of the Maldives, Ahmed Hilmy Didi played a crucial role in the nation's international relations, particularly in the realm of maritime boundaries.

[16] Hilmy Didi's involvement in the treaty negotiation and signing reflected his diplomatic acumen and the Maldives' broader strategic interests.

[15] During Ahmed Hilmy Didi's tenures as Minister of Fisheries, the Maldives experienced significant advancements in its fishing industry.

[18] This transformation was a direct result of his efforts in Japan in 1972, where he facilitated the conversion of traditional sail-powered dhonis into more efficient engine-powered boats.
