Maldives has been sidelined in the international community: Abdulla Shahid

Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)s new Presdeint and former Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdulla Shahid has said last night that Maldives has become sidelined in the international community. He said that the country is given so little importance now that they are allocated space for meetings only in the corridors of the event venue.

Speaking at the MDP's event last night marking the commencement of campaigns for the upcoming parliamentary election, Shahid said that the decrease in prominence of Maldives' appearance in international events is a testament to his claim.
