The government of India is holding a ministerial conference for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) this weekend.
The Maldives will be represented by State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Naseem, despite graduating to a Middle Income Country in January.
The number of LDC’s has increased from 25 in 1971 to 48 in 2011, noted the Indian High Commission to the Maldives in a press statement. All countries are expected to be sending their permanent representatives, while 35 ministers are attending the conference in Delhi.
“Sustained global growth and stability will remain a dream if economies of the LDCs continue to be underdeveloped and their natural and human resources remain untapped preventing their overall socio-economic advancement,” the High Commission statement noted.
