Sri Lanka Foreign Minister in Maldives (Waheed's)

Sri Lanka Minister of External affairs G.L. Peiris left for Maldives today for a three day official tour.

He is to meet new Maldives President Mohammed Waheed and the Foreign Minister of Maldives Abdul Samad Abdulla.

This is the first time a Sri Lankan Minister tours in Singapore following the change of rule there.

Former President of Maldives Mahammed Nasheed was a friend of Sri Lanka's ruling Rajapaksas but they disassociated him following the regime change there.

New rulers of Maldives cleverly managed the relationships with Sri Lanka and also voted against the resolution on Sri Lanka at UNHRC.
