Minister has sent a message of sympathies to the Minister Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh following the devastating floods
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Maldives, His Excellency Abdulla Shahid has sent a message of sympathies to the Minister Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, His Excellency Dr. A.K Abdul Momen, following the devastating floods which have impacted the lives of almost a million Bangladeshis.
Minister’s message reads as follows:
“I am greatly saddened to hear the news of the devastating floods caused by exceptionally heavy monsoon rains that have submerged 1/3 of Bangladesh, destroying livelihoods and leaving entire villages underwater. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this calamity would no doubt greatly add to the challenges faced by almost a million Bangladeshis.
At this time of national distress, on behalf of the Government and the people of Maldives, I extend our deepest sympathies to the Government and the people of Bangladesh, especially to those directly affected and to the families who lost their livelihoods.
I sincerely hope that the efforts of the response teams proceed swiftly and successfully, and commend the perseverance of the people of Bangladesh during this crisis.”
