President Abdulla Yameen is likely to skip the UN General Assembly in New York for a second consecutive year.
Yameen was scheduled to address the UNGA for the first time since his election on October 1. But Ibrahim Muaz Ali, the president’s spokesman, refused to comment if Yameen would be traveling to the US after his ongoing trip to Saudi Arabia.
“The media will be informed in due time,” he said.
The president and First Lady Fathimath Ibrahim are in Mecca for the Hajj for the second year running. Former President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan represented the Maldives at the UNGA last year.
