The Chief Spokesperson of the Government, Mohamed Hussain Shareef (Mundhu), announced today that President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu is set to sign seven agreements during his upcoming visit to Sri Lanka.
Following an invitation from Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the President will travel to Sri Lanka from this coming Sunday until Wednesday.
Speaking on the newly launched program "Presser with the Spox" at the PSM state media studio today, Shareef stated that official discussions between the two presidents will take place during the trip. He noted that, as currently arranged, at least seven agreements will be signed between the Maldives and Sri Lanka.

"There are many such fields. MOUs in specific sectors are being brought (for signing)," the Chief Spokesperson said.
Shareef further stated that during President Muizzu's visit, discussions will be held to facilitate networking between Maldivian and Sri Lankan business owners, as well as to explore available investment opportunities.
In addition, the President is scheduled to meet with Sri Lankan ministers, the Prime Minister, and the Maldivian community residing in Sri Lanka.
The President’s Office has confirmed that the delegation accompanying President Muizzu will include First Lady Saajidha Mohamed, as well as several cabinet ministers and high-level government officials.
