Minister of State Ms. Aishath Inaya and Deputy Minister Ali Nasir represented the Maldives at the 2026 Belt and Road Green Innovation Conference and Eco Expo Asia Conference in Hong Kong. The conference provided a valuable platform to engage with international partners, exchange perspectives, and explore opportunities for cooperation in green innovation, environmental protection, climate action, and sustainable development.

As part of the ongoing activities under the "Building Climate Resilient Safer Islands in the Maldives" Project, a Spotter wave observation system was installed at FAD number F08D03 near B.Thulhaadhoo. These systems will provide valuable data on wave and ocean conditions in the Maldives to better understand the changes in the marine environment.
