Special Envoy of the President, Mr Ibrahim Hussain Zaki has departed for Coimbatore, India to attend the World Classical Tamil Conference on behalf of President Nasheed.

World Classical Tamil Conference which will be held from 23 – 27 June is being organized to commemorate the deceleration of Tamil as a classical language and to provide opportunity to researchers and scholars to present research papers relating to Tamil culture, language and literature.

“Maldivians have strong traditional links with Tamil culture and language. Our participation in this conference, I believe, would strengthen this link,” said Mr Zaki.
