Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef has outlined three priorities for building resilient partnerships within the Commonwealth.
The statement was issued on 4 November. The Vice President has represented the Maldives at several international forums in recent months.
Commonwealth cooperation has traditionally covered education, technical assistance and climate advocacy. Maldivian officials have sought greater support for adaptation finance and capacity building.
Details of the three priorities were not expanded in the initial announcement. Further elaboration is expected at upcoming meetings.
The Maldives is a long-standing member of the Commonwealth. Previous governments have used the platform to raise the concerns of small island developing states.
The Vice President's Office is expected to release additional information as engagements continue.
