Foreign Minister of Maldives Abdulla Shahid met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday.

This visit took place on the heels of Jaishankar’s visit to the Maldives in February this year.

Both ministers exchanged views on international organisations, including the UN, Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC), Commonwealth and SAARC, besides regional and international issues and avenues of Indian assistance in combating the pandemic in the Maldives, said sources.

The Maldives’ minister requested New Delhi to renew DGFT notifications regarding assured supply of essential commodities to Maldives from India as per the bilateral trade agreement. Jaishankar assured that the Indian commitment would be honored, said the sources.

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).
