Senior officials at the Maldives National Defence Force have assured journalists that they would take steps to improve communication and transparency between the two groups.
Defence Minister Thalhath Ibrahim Kaleyfaan allegedly told journalists who attended a briefing at the armed forced headquarters today that the ministry would hold a training session to help journalists better report news involving military services, reports local media Haveeru.
Journalists were concerned over the lack of transparency at MNDF, and requested permission to participate in military operations, Haveeru reports.
The ministry said it would make arrangements following this request.
