Today's meeting was held to meet minister of economic development and trade to discuss on the China-Maldives free trade agreement.

However, Vaikaradhoo constituency member Hussain Ziyad opposed to that proposal and proposed not to hold meeting behind closed doors as a confidential meeting if there is no information in that agreement that needs to be kept confidential; and it was seconded by Kendhoo constituency member Mauroof Zakir.
