Maldives And Sri Lanka Want To Boost Tuna Ties 28 January 2025

The Maldives and Sri Lanka joined forces last Wednesday to enhance cooperation in fisheries of tuna and other seafood. Masood Imad, High Commissioner of the Maldives to Sri Lanka, and Ramalingam Chandrasekhar, Sri Lankan Minister of Fisheries, discussed ways to promote collaborative efforts in fisheries.

One of the main topics was regarding the launch of a training program to teach pole-and-line fishing to Sri Lankan fishers. Imad stated that there are over 17,000 Sri Lankan fishers working in the Maldivian tuna fishing sector and employing more workers with knowledge of this method would help address the shortage of fishermen in the Maldives. This discussion reaffirmed the mutual commitment of both countries to work together for the sustainable development of the fisheries sector while fostering stronger bilateral relations, reported Sri Lankan news sites.
