The Maldives government has requested the Sri Lankan government to make arrangements to facilitate permanent residency for elderly Maldivians.
The request was made during Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer's ongoing official visit to the neighbouring country.
According to Sri Lankan media, the request was made to Public Security Minister Tiran Alles.
Sri Lanka's Public Security Ministry oversees the country's police, immigration and border management.
The Daily Mirror reported that "discussions primarily revolved around immigration matters, including visa issuance procedures."
The Maldives Foreign Ministry has not yet released any information about the meeting.
