China funds training on climate change for Maldivian officials and experts

According to a 2014 interview given by China's ambassador to Maldives, China on an annual basis invites Maldives officials and experts to join "climate change training" (气候变化培训班) held in China.

In 2014 President Xi Jinping stated that, "China is ready to provide human resources training and material assistance to the Maldives on adapting to climate change." Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
