Former President and opposition leader Mohamed Nasheed has met Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and discussed Maldives' tense political situation and climate change action.
Nasheed revealed this in a post on his Twitter account, where he describes Prime Minister Rasmussen to be a 'close friend', and commends him for his handling of the Copenhagen Summit leadership in 2009, for which he was initially criticized.
Great catching up with my old friend, PM @larsloekke. Discussed Maldives’ political crisis, radicalism, & Indian Ocean stability. Thanked him for his excellent work at COP15 which produced initial agreements by countries to reduce emissions & led to the successful COP21 in Paris. pic.twitter.com/oFnLpjO3o0

Nasheed left Colombo late March in order to meet a number of 'leaders and senior officials' of European nations. The details of these meetings are yet unclear.
RaajjeMV understands that the former president will on Thursday leave Denmark for the United Kingdom, where he has been granted political asylum.
