A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed today between the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Maldives to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), at a ceremony held at the UNITAR Office in Geneva this afternoon.
