Minister of Communication, Science and Technology Maleeh Jamaal, on Wednesday, announced that attempts were underway to bring more submarine cables to Maldives to reduce the price of internet services.

He made this statement at a virtual roundtable meeting with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and Vietnam's Information Ministry.

Noting that the state was trying to foster other areas in order to reduce the island nation's dependency on the tourism sector, Minister Maleeh declared that those working in such areas would require Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) services.
