The Government of Maldives has decided to extend relief assistance to Sri Lanka through financial support of USD 50,000 and a donation of 25,000 cases of tuna cans.
The Maldivian Government has taken this decision to extend humanitarian and relief assistance on behalf of the Maldivian people to the people of Sri Lanka, in response to the widespread devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah.
According to a statement from the Maldivian Foreign Ministry, this gesture is a demonstration of solidarity with its close neighbour and the friendly people of Sri Lanka.
The Maldives hopes that this modest donation will contribute towards the efforts of the Government of Sri Lanka, to assist those affected – reflecting the deep commitment to the close bonds shared between the two nations and their peoples, it added. (Newswire)
