China funds renovation of Maldives foreign ministry
30 Jul 2019, 9:00 AM
A project was launched on Monday to renovate the foreign ministry office building in Malé with grant aid from China.
Exchange of letters for the renovation project took place in December last year, a month after the new administration took office.
“Through this renovation work, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopes to find a solution to its space shortage, and be better able to serve the people of the Maldives,” the foreign ministry said at the time.
Located in the capital’s northern waterfront, the office complex with its distinctive curved roofs was built 14 years ago.
