President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has submitted a request to the Parliament seeking approval for the appointment of new ambassadors to three foreign nations, with the nominees being Masood Imad for Sri Lanka, Dr. Mariyam Shabeena Ahmed for Malaysia, and Geela Ali for Belgium and the European Union.
The proposed ambassadors’ names have been forwarded to the Parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee for thorough scrutiny and vetting.
Geela Ali, the nominee for the position of Maldives’ envoy to Belgium and the EU, brings a wealth of experience to the table. Having previously served as the permanent secretary at the Health Ministry during the 2013-2018 PPM administration, she also held the position of secretary-general at the presently predominant ruling PNC.
Masood Imad, who is poised to represent the Maldives in neighbouring Sri Lanka, comes with a background in governmental service. He previously served as the media secretary at the President’s Office during the administration of former President Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik.
The appointments, subject to parliamentary approval, reflect the Maldives’ commitment to strengthening diplomatic relations with key nations and international bodies.
