Parliament greenlights appointment of 8 ambassadors

The Parliament has officially endorsed the appointed ambassadors and high commissioners nominated by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, subsequent to the approval of the Foreign Relations Committee.

The list of approved ambassadors appointed by President Dr. Muizzu includes:

  • Mohamed Hussain Shareef, Ambassador of the Maldives to the United Arab Nations
  • Dr. Iruthisham Adam, High Commissioner of the Maldives to the United Kingdom
  • Dr. Ali Naseer Mohamed, Ambassador of the Maldives to the United Nations
  • Masood Imad, High Commissioner of the Maldives to Sri Lanka
  • Dr. Mariyam Shabeena Ahmed, High Commissioner of the Maldives to Malaysia
  • Geela Ali, Ambassador of the Maldives to the Kingdom of Belgium and European Union
  • Dr. Salma Rasheed, Ambassador of the Maldives to the United Nations in Geneva
  • Mohamed Luweiz, High Commissioner of the Maldives to Singapore

However, the Foreign Relations Committee disclosed that two of the appointed delegates were not subjected to interviews due to inconsistencies in their court documents. Consequently, the Parliament refrained from casting votes for their approval. The individuals who were not approved are Dr. Fazeel Najeeb, appointed as Ambassador of the Maldives to China, and Shuineen Rasheed, designated as High Commissioner of the Maldives to Bangladesh.

The approval process was expedited by the Parliament in response to concerns raised by President Dr. Muizzu regarding delays in the approval process.
