The India-Maldives ‘defence cooperation dialogue’ was conducted here on Friday, with both sides discussing matters related to bilateral support.

“This included expediting the implementation of various ongoing projects,” the Ministry of Defence said today. This was the fifth round of the dialogue.

The two countries also deliberated on a few other areas of common interest, such as high-level exchanges and capability development projects. The aspects of participation in the forthcoming bilateral military exercise were also discussed. The Indian delegation was led by Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane, while the Maldivian delegation was headed by Chief of Defence Force, General lbrahim Hilmy.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
