Javaabu Meets Minister Heena Waleed to Discuss Technology for Dhivehi Language, Culture and Heritage

Javaabu met with Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Heena Waleed on 5 October 2026 at the Ministry of Arts, Culture and Heritage office, located at the National Museum Building in Malé, to discuss technology initiatives and potential areas of collaboration.

Representing Javaabu at the meeting were CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Jailam and Machine Learning Research Engineer Ahmed Yameen.

During the meeting, the team showcased Javaabu's work on DhivehiGPT, its Dhivehi-focused artificial intelligence platform, as well as DhivehiVaahaka, a digital platform developed to support Dhivehi stories and storytellers. DhivehiVaahaka was announced by Javaabu in September 2026 as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen Dhivehi digital content.

The discussion explored potential areas of collaboration between Javaabu and the Ministry, particularly around the use of technology to support and promote the Dhivehi language, arts, culture and heritage.

Javaabu and the Ministry also discussed potential improvements to the Ministry's website, which was recently developed by Javaabu, and opportunities to further enhance its digital presence and services.

The meeting reflects Javaabu's continued commitment to developing technology that supports the Dhivehi language and contributes to the preservation, accessibility and promotion of Maldivian culture and heritage.

Javaabu looks forward to working closely with the Ministry of Arts, Culture and Heritage on future initiatives and extends its sincere appreciation to Minister Heena Waleed for the opportunity to meet and discuss areas where technology can contribute to these shared goals.
