Maldives, UK discuss permanent tariff relief on fish product

Both the governments of Maldives and the UK on Sunday engaged in high-level diplomatic discussions to formalize permanent tariff relief on Maldivian tuna exports.

Following the UK's landmark decision to suspend tariffs on Maldivian tuna exports, the recent tariff suspension aims to bolster the livelihoods of thousands of Maldivian fishers, protect the global gold standard of pole-and-line fishing, and provide more affordable and sustainable seafood options to UK consumers.
