1. Though the committee was scheduled to meet with the Minister of Defence, due to an unforeseen circumstance from the Minister’s side, the committee was not able to meet with the minister. 2. The Committee discussed the issue regarding the letter forwarded by the President, concerning the case filed by Mauritius against the Maldives at the International Tribunal over the Maldives' special economic zone. Since the government has appointed a separate committee to investigate the matter, it was decided to obtain an update about the works carried out by the committee and clarify its findings.
