While Asif praised economic policy of PPM, he also criticized the opposition policies saying that the opposition's take on the economic policy in the country so far has not been friendly with the public and some opposition leaders have tweeted threats to take action against the Maldives. 

He said that trade should not be focused on one specific neighboring country but be able to trade with all the countries and it would be more beneficial to the country.
