Maldives President Mohammed Moizzu also came to India to attend the third swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Modi. A day after taking oath on Monday, Moizzu met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Delhi. This meeting is taking place amid tense relations between the two countries. This meeting, which took place just hours after the formation of the new government, can prove to be helpful in restarting relations between the two countries.
What did Jaishankar write on So.Media
After meeting Mohammed Moizzu in New Delhi, Jaishankar wrote on social media, “It was nice to meet Maldives President Dr. Mohammed Moizzu in New Delhi today. India and Maldives are keen to work together.”
This image was anti-India
The image of the new President of Maldives, Mohammad Moizzu, has been anti-India. Moizzu started making anti-India comments right from the time of his election campaign. Moizzu raised the slogan 'India Out' during the election campaign and after winning, he has completely ended the presence of Indian soldiers from the soil of Maldives. Ever since his government came to power, China's interference in Maldives and its maritime borders has increased rapidly, which is a sign of danger for India.
Why is Maldives important for India?
Relations between Maldives and India have always been good, but recently the relations have soured. Maldives is a small country in the middle of the ocean, but it is strategic and important for the security of India's maritime borders. The distance of Maldives from India can weaken the hold of the Indian Army in the Indian Ocean. Apart from this, Maldives is also the first choice of Indian tourists. It is expected that after this meeting, relations between India and Maldives will improve.
