Internationale Beziehungen

Die Beteiligung und Mitarbeit der Malediven in internationalen Organisationen hat in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten erheblich zugenommen. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind die Aktivitäten im Rahmen der Vereinten Nationen, der Organization der Islamischen Konferenz, dem Commonwealth und der Südasiatischen Vereinigung für regionale Zusammenarbeit (SAARC). Letzteres ist besonders wichtig, weil langfristige Sicherheit und wirtschaftliche Interessen für die Malediven eng mit der Entwicklung dieser Region zusammenhängen. Die Malediven haben aber weitere internationalen Übereinkommen ratifiziert bzw. sind diesen beigetreten:
