The Non-Resident Ambassador of Singapore to Maldives Chua Thian Poh paid a farewell call to Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdulla Shahid on Sunday afternoon.

During the meeting that took place at Foreign Ministry, Minister Shahid expressed appreciation for Ambassador Poh's countless services during his tenure to strengthen bilateral ties between Maldives and Singapore.

Additionally, the Foreign Minister recalled President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's successful state visit to Singapore in July, which further helped reinforce the diplomatic relationship between both countries.
