As highlighted on the Daily FT news website on 30th December 2022, the Maldives and Sri Lanka discussed ways in which the fisheries sector could be strengthened between the two neighbouring nations. This meeting was held at the President’s Office of the Maldives in the capital, Male, and was attended by Dr. Dulan Hettiarachchi, Sri Lanka’s Cey-Nor Foundation Chairman and Dr. Hussain Rasheed Hassan, the Maldives Fisheries, Marine Resources and Agriculture Minister.
Functioning under Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Fisheries, the Cey-Nor Foundation is set to provide tourist and fishing vessels to the Maldives; it was additionally discussed that through investors in the Maldives, a joint vessel construction project would also begin between the two countries.
