Saudi Arabia opens embassy in Maldives

The embassy is located at the Hotel Jen in Malé and will issue visas for Maldivian students, pilgrims, and tourists.

In a meeting with a visiting Saudi Arabian delegation last week, President Abdulla Yameen had “noted the importance of establishing better transportation between the two countries,” the president’s office said.

President Yameen also told the delegation that the Maldives is “open for joint venture investments.”
