The Maldives National Chamber of Commerce and Industry MNCCI has expressed its firm disapproval of the ongoing boycott campaign directed towards the Maldives.

In a belated statement about the ongoing issue, MNCCI said that while it acknowledges the rights of individuals to voice concerns, it believes that this campaign does not serve the best interest of the country.

MNCCI said that as an organization dedicated to the progress and prosperity of the Maldives, it encouraged open and constructive dialogue to address any grievances that have prompted this campaign.

It invited representatives involved in the boycott to engage in discussions aimed at finding common ground and mutually beneficial solutions.

MNCCI said that it reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the sovereignty and interests of the Maldives while maintaining positive and cooperative relations with all parties.

It emphasized the importance of respectful communication and diplomacy in resolving differences and ensuring a prosperous future for the country.

MNCCI encouraged a unified approach to finding resolutions through meaningful discussions that encompass the divisive perspectives of the people of the Maldives and stakeholders.

Social media activists in India are spearheading the boycott Maldives campaign after top government officials in the Maldivian government posted derogatory comments about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
