Abdul Sattar Moosa Didi (1936?-2015) was
a diplomat
from the Republic of Maldives, an island nation located
in the Indian Ocean, about 400 miles southwest of the
southern tip of India. He was a diplomat for more than
fifty years, and served as that country's first ambassador
to the United Nations. He also served as the Minister
of Finance, the Minister of
Education, the Minister of
Fisheries, and Minister of Health and Welfare.
In addition,
he served as the Vice President of the Maldives,
the
Representative of the Maldives in Colombo, and as the
Maldivian Ambassador to the USA.
Perhaps the most notable service of Abdul Sattar was his
contribution to securing full independence for Maldives
from the British in 1965, alongside President
Ibrahim Nasir.
