Maldives–Sri Lanka relations, or official and economic relations between the neighboring Indian Ocean countries of the Maldives and Sri Lanka, have been positive since the Maldives became independent in 1965. The Maldives first established a mission in Sri Lanka in July 1965, and today has a high commission in Colombo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=High Commission of Maldives )〕 Sri Lanka has a high commission in Malé.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Embassies of Sri Lanka )〕 Both countries were founding members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in December 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation )〕 ==History==
The earliest settlers in the Maldives were probably from southern India. Indo-European speakers followed them from Sri Lanka in the fourth and fifth centuries BC. In the 12th century AD, sailors from East Africa and Arab countries came to the islands. Today, the Maldivian ethnic identity is a blend of these cultures, reinforced by religion and language. According to Maldivian legend, a Sinhalese prince named KoiMale was stranded with his bride, daughter of the king of Sri Lanka, in a Maldivian lagoon and stayed on to rule as the first sultan. The Maldivians speak Dhivehi, closely related to the Sinhala language of Sri Lanka.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Background Note: Maldives )〕 The Maldives became a British Protectorate in the 19th century and the Maldivian monarchs were granted a good measure of self-governance. The Maldives gained total independence in 1965, and soon after established formal diplomatic relations with Sri Lanka.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SOUTH ASIA :: MALDIVES )〕
