President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has expressed the Maldivian government’s support for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal to combat the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
The proposal was made via Twitter, where PM Modi proposed for the leadership of SAARC nations to form a “strong strategy” to fight Covid-19.
The discussions, Modi suggested, could be held via video conferencing and could revolve around ways to keep the citizens “healthy”.
Together, we can set an example to the world, and contribute to a healthier planet.”PM Modi
The Maldives president responded by extending gratitude to the Indian PM for taking the initiative to this, “important endeavor”.
The fatal disease requires “collective efforts” to be defeated, said the president, who went on to add that the government welcomes this proposal and assured that the regional effort will have the Maldives' full support.
In a separate Tweet, PM Modi stressed that the South Asian region must “leave no stone unturned” to ensure their citizens are healthy, as a home to a large chunk of the global population.
Further, the Indian PM noted that the entire planet is battling the disease and that the governments and people are trying “their best” to combat it, at various levels.
