Maldives

Question
Whether they will place in the Library a copy of the report by the Commonwealth mission to the Maldives; and what steps they are taking to ensure that the Commonwealth Secretariat communicates any further suggestions regarding the proposed new constitution in writing to the opposition including the Maldives Democratic Party, with an invitation to comment.
Answer

We stand behind the ongoing efforts of the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Commonwealth Secretary-General’s Special Envoy to take forward dialogue with and between the political parties in the Maldives on democratic and constitutional reform. We are not aware that the Commonwealth Secretariat is producing an open report on the recent mission to the Maldives.
