Sri Lanka and Maldives formally exchanged seven memoranda of understanding at the Presidential Secretariat on 4 May during President Mohamed Muizzu’s state visit.
The agreements covered tourism, archives, teacher and school-leader development, youth and sport, and defence-related cooperation. An academic agreement also linked the University of Colombo with the Maldivian health ministry.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and President Muizzu witnessed the exchange, with ministers, senior officials and members of the visiting delegation present.
The package broadened the areas in which the neighbouring countries intended to work together. It established cooperation arrangements, while the individual activities and benefits would depend on subsequent implementation by the institutions involved.
