Foreign Relations Committee
08 Jul 2026 Number M20/M/KG/2025/15
In today's meeting, the Committee proceeded with the review of the nomination sent by the President regarding the appointment of Al-Usthaza Fathimath Dhiyana (Goranvila, S. Hulhudhoo) as the Ambassador of the Republic of Maldives to the Kingdom of Belgium and the European Union.
During the discussion, two motions were put forward regarding how to proceed with the nomination.
The first motion, proposed by South Maafannu Constituency Member Abdulla Rifau and seconded by South Fuvahmulah Constituency Member Ibrahim Hussain, aimed to set a review deadline of 15 July 2026, clear the nominee's records with the relevant authorities, and move forward without conducting an interview. Conversely, the second motion, proposed by Vaikaradhoo Constituency Member Hussain Ziyad and seconded by Maradhoo Constituency Member Ahmed Didi, suggested that the committee hold an interview with Al-Usthaza Fathimath Dhiyana.
Motion one was put to a vote first. The motion was passed by the majority of the members present at the committee.
As the first motion was successfully passed, Motion two was not put to a vote.
