" She made these comments following a meeting with Dhara Wijayatilake the Chief Executive of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce. Zareer was also of the view that Sri Lanka and Maldives should look to build more commercial ties, moving away from the traditionally traded goods between the two nations, such as fruits, vegetables and fisheries. “We can look at potential synergies existing between the two nations to explore more opportunities," Wijayatilake said. Education and health services were discussed as potential areas that could be further developed. More than 5,000 Sri Lankans work in Maldives, mainly in the tourism sector, while over 10,000 Maldivian nationals live here.
