UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s claim that the Maldives has been placed on the Commonwealth’s watch is not true, the foreign ministry has said.
In a statement to the UK parliament on November 30, Cameron said he welcomed a report by the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group, the intergovernmental organization’s human rights arm, and its decision “to put the Maldives under formal consideration and to visit there in early 2016.”
In response, the foreign ministry issued a statement today:
“The Government of Maldives wishes to make it very clear that there is no CMAG report or any other Commonwealth report, which states that the Maldives is placed “under formal consideration”, and any suggestion to the contrary is not true.
