The Chinese embassy said, China’s Sino Soar Hybrid Technology Co., Ltd, had not withdrawn from the execution of northern power projects, according to the reports.
A spokesman for the embassy said the project had been suspended by Sri Lanka earlier this year, but it was still valid.
“The company will continue the contract after the cabinet approval. There is no withdrawal,” he said.
Earlier, the embassy tweeted, “Sino Soar Hybrid Technology, being suspended to build Hybrid Energy system in 3 northern islands due to ‘security concern’ from a third party, has inked a contract with Maldivian gov’t on 29 Nov to establish solar power plants at 12 islands in the Maldives.”
