He highlighted that they are committed to work together for all Maldivians.

In a separate Twitter post, Speaker Nasheed highlighted that the two leaders had met a few individuals on the road on Thursday, going on to express gratitude to those who are actively delivering raw fish to the people, at a time the Greater Malé Region is locked down and the country is locked in a battle with the Covid-19 pandemic.
