President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has travelled to Rwanda on an official visit. He is accompanied by First Lady Fazna Ahmed and a high-level government delegation.
During the visit, President Solih is scheduled to attend his first Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held since the re-accession of the Maldives to the Commonwealth of Nations in February 2020. CHOGM 2022 is being held from June 20-25 in Kigali, Rwanda.
The President's Office said the visit signifies the administration’s commitment to engage with the international community, especially with the Commonwealth member states, in promoting democracy, human rights, good governance, multilateralism, and world peace. Through such multilateral forums, the administration seeks to engage in exchange of expertise and assistance in regard to building inclusive, resilient, and environmentally conscious communities.
On the sidelines of the meeting, President Solih will hold bilateral meetings with other world leaders in order to strengthen the role of the Maldives in the international community, advance its shared interests, and contribute to the resolution of global issues.
