President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu and Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Disanayaka on Monday witnessed the signing of a key Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and a treaty aimed at strengthening diplomatic and legal cooperation between the Maldives and Sri Lanka.

The MoU on Diplomatic Training and the Exchange of Information and Documents was signed between the Foreign Service Institute of Maldives (FOSIM) and Sri Lanka’s Bandaranaike International Diplomatic Training Institute (BIDTI). It outlines collaboration in diplomatic training, knowledge-sharing, and institutional exchanges.

Additionally, a Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters was signed to enhance legal cooperation. The treaty, previously approved by the Maldivian Cabinet, will facilitate support in criminal investigations, prosecutions, and the sharing of evidence and legal information.



The agreements reflect the continued commitment of both nations to deepen ties in key sectors and mark another step forward in their enduring bilateral relationship.
