The ministry stated that the consultations will extend to all inhabited islands in the coming days. Island and atoll councils, government agencies, businesses, and community organisations will have opportunities to share their perspectives during these sessions.

The National Development Masterplan is designed to provide a long-term framework for national initiatives, ensuring the sustainable use of resources for the benefit of the public. It also aims to build resilience against climate change while enabling the Maldives to adapt to shifts in global technology and economic trends.
