Maldives Investment Forum has been delayed to late October. The Forum was initially to be held on 15th September.
Speaking to press Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed stated that the Forum was delayed due to the warehouse explosion in Tianjin. He added that the Forum has been successful. Over 3,400 had been invited to the Forum and Minister Saeed stated that most of them have completed their registration process.
