The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Development Association for Youthleaders and Yamaki Corp. also delivered presentations at this webinar which highlighted their experience of the investment climate in the Maldives and future prospects in investing in the Maldives.
Speaking at the webinar, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs H.E. Ahmed Khaleel highlighted the important initiative led by Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, together with Maldives diplomatic missions abroad, to step-up the work on external resource mobilisation for the much-needed recovery from this pandemic. “Along with relevant counterparts and line ministries at home, our embassies will actively work as “agents” to mobilise aid, promote tourism, facilitate trade and attract investment opportunities,” he noted. The State Minister also expressed his gratitude for the immense support the Government of Japan and for the personal commitment of Ambassador of Japan to Maldives, H.E. Keiko Yanai in economic recovery efforts of the Maldives. Government of Japan is a close bilateral partner and a historical development partner of the Maldives and has aided through budget support and concessional grant loans during this pandemic.
