President Mohamed Nasheed today met Oregon State Senator Jacqueline Dingfelder and Oregon State Representative Ben Cannon, who are currently visiting the Maldives.
At the meeting held at the President’s Office this afternoon, the President shared his views on Maldivian politics and democratic reform process. He also discussed with US legislators the government’s efforts to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
Oregon state legislators’ visit is a part of the initiative between the Maldivian Democracy Network and US Embassy in Colombo to contribute to legislative capacity building in the Maldives.
During the visit, State Senator Dingfelder and State Representative Cannon will conduct a number of programmes, including a workshop to provide a forum where Maldivian MPs and the US legislators share experiences and transfer knowledge.
