The scheduled visit of the Maldivian President follows a series of high-level exchanges between the two countries.
Deputy PM Dar and Foreign Minister Adam met on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September. During the meeting, they agreed to expand cooperation in trade, connectivity, economic relations, business-to-business links, academia and defence.
Pakistan and the Maldives’ cooperation spans trade, education, health, defence, capacity-building and climate change.
A Maldivian parliamentary delegation led by People’s Majlis Speaker Abdul Raheem Abdulla also visited Pakistan in September to discuss bilateral relations and strengthen cooperation between the two legislatures.
