President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, speaking at the opening of the China–Maldives Investment Cooperation Forum, invited Chinese investors to join the Maldives' goal of becoming a developed nation by 2040. He cited USD 440 million in imports from China over a 20-month period, of which about USD 124 million came under the Free Trade Agreement.
One outlet so far Only Miadhu has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
We do not want Maldivian businesses merely to participate in the international market. We want them to compete and become successful in that market. China can be an important partner in this effort.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The President stated that the Maldives imported goods worth USD 440 million from China between January last year and August this year.
