President-elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on Monday met with a visiting UK foreign office minister and the ambassadors of France and the European Union.
At the meeting with Mark Field MP, minister of state for Asia and the Pacific, the pair “discussed the UK providing assistance for asset recovery efforts and to strengthen and reform the security services, institutions and the judiciary,” according to the president-elect’s office.
The recovery of stolen public funds, including nearly US$80 million embezzled from the state-owned tourism company, was a campaign pledge of Solih.
He is due to take the oath of office on November 17.
