Maldives Expresses Gratitude To India For Permitting The Shipment Of Specific Amount Of Commodities

Maldivian Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer said Saturday that India’s gesture to renew the quota for the shipment of specific quantities of essential commodities to his nation reflects the historic bilateral friendship and the commitment to expanding trade and commerce.

India granted the Maldives government’s request to export certain quantities of essential commodities for the year 2024-25, the Indian High Commission announced on Friday.

The Indian High Commissioner stated that it was done under a unique bilateral mechanism in which the quotas for each of these commodities had been raised upwards.

“The approved quantities are the highest since this arrangement came into effect in 1981”, the mission announced.

Zameer went to X to thank India for the move.

Zameer tweeted, “I sincerely thank EAM @DrSJaishankar and the Government of #India for the renewal of the quota to enable #Maldives to import essential commodities from India during the years 2024 and 2025”, through his official ‘X’ handle.

“This is truly a gesture which signifies the longstanding friendship, and the strong commitment to further expand bilateral trade and commerce between our two countries”, Zameer continued.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar responded to Zameer’s post, stating that India is committed to its Neighbourhood First and SAGAR policies.

Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR) is India’s policy or ideology for maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean region.

India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ Policy emphasises the renewed primacy that the country places on its neighbouring countries.
