Chair of UK parliamentary group visits President

President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan today met with the Chairman of the UK-Maldives All Parliamentary Group (APG) MP David Amess. The President’s Office reported that the discussion involved the recent political history of the Maldives and the upholding of democratic values. Amess’s visit to the President’s Office came as former President Mohamed Nasheed met with UK Foreign Secretary William Hague in the Maldives in London. Nasheed is expected to lobby the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) regarding the recently released Commission of National Inquiry report during the trip. He will also speak at the Royal Commonwealth Society on Wednesday evening.
