President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan has this week met with foreign dignitaries including Italian Ambassador designated to the Maldives, Fabrizio Pio Arpea and former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the UAE, Mohammed Al Shaali.
In two separate meetings held at the President’s office this week, Dr Waheed briefed both dignitaries on the current political situation in the Maldives.
According to the President’s Office website, Dr Waheed’s meeting with Fabrizio Pio Arpea included discussions on the progress of the National Enquiry Commission charged with ascertaining the legitimacy of the present government over allegations that Mohamed Nasheed had been removed from office in a “coup d’etat”.
The following day, the president met with Mohammed Al Shaali to talk about efforts in the Maldives to form a proposed national unity government – a move Dr Waheed claimed was needed to strengthen democracy in the country. The discussions were also reported to have included the issue of financial stability in the Maldives, the President’s Office website added.
