More than 8,000 Sri Lankans working in the Maldives have not been affected by the political turmoil there, Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner Dixon Dela said yesterday. “There is nothing to fear. Sri Lankans are safe,” Mr. Dela who is in Colombo told the Sunday Times.
He said he had briefed Government authorities on the crisis in the Maldives and claimed there was no reason for any panic. Most Sri Lankans in the Maldives are working in the hospitality and garment sectors.
Meanwhile Maldivian High Commissioner Hussain Shihab also said there was not threat or disruption to the lives of people in the Maldives despite several days of turmoil and demonstrations. Mr. Shihab said new President Mohamed Waheed Hassen was holding talks to set up a national unity government. Members of ousted President Mohamed Nasheed’s Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) also had been invited to join.
