British government congratulates Maldives on ratification of a new constitution and remain committed to supporting the reform process

Lord Malloch Brown commented on the ratification of a new constitution in the Maldives. In an official statement publish on the Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs website, Lord Brown said 'We congratulate the Maldives on ratification of a new constitution. This is a significant milestone in the country's reform process. It will initiate the next important series of reforms, including the establishment of key institutions, leading to elections. The UK will continue to follow developments closely and remains committed to supporting the process.'

Wonder if the Maldives dictator will see this as interference with internal affairs of the Maldives!
