Maldives will continue to prioritise its long-term and important relationship with India.”

Purpose of Muizzu’s visit to India

Maldives wants financial assistance from India and will ask for more time to repay old loans given by India. Maldives has realised that if India does not help, it will face a big crisis. It is being predicted that these issues will be discussed in Muizzu’s meeting with Prime Minister Modi.

Editorial Perspective

Historically, the countries that have aligned with China, take steps to harm India’s interest and protect Chinese interest. Who would believe Muizzu’s statement therefore ?
