Maldives' Muizzu shows loyalty as soon as he steps into India! Message to China

India-Maldives News: Maldives President Mohammad Muizzu has recently taken a step in a new direction by reaching Delhi on a four-day visit to India. Muizzu, who is known as a supporter of China, has brought a big change in the political equations by giving a message of his loyalty to India. It has been clearly indicated that Maldives will not pose any threat to India's security.

Wind of change in India-Maldives relations

This move by President Muizzu is part of his nation's effort to deal with the economic crisis. Maldives is currently going through a serious financial crisis, and the country's foreign exchange reserves have fallen to just $ 440 million. In such a situation, Muizzu's effort to strengthen his relations with India again is important. This is also special because recently tensions between the two countries had increased, when Maldives ordered Indian troops to withdraw and Maldives ministers made objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

'India is our friend and partner'

Speaking to a leading newspaper on his arrival in India, President Muizzu said, "Maldives will never do anything that harms India's security. India is our valued friend and partner, and our relations are based on mutual respect and shared interests." Muizzu's statement clearly signals to China that Maldives' relations with India are its priority, even as it talks of increasing cooperation with China.

Clarification on withdrawal of Indian troops

When questioned on the order of withdrawal of Indian troops, Muizzu linked it to domestic priorities and said that Maldives did what its citizens demanded. "We have reviewed previous agreements to ensure that they are in line with our national interests and contribute to regional stability." His stance shows that Maldives is now focusing on its internal issues, but at the same time wants to continue cooperation with India for regional stability.

Muizzu's changed stance towards China

Despite being pro-China, President Muizzu's stance is now seen leaning towards India. The reason for this is also the economic situation of Maldives, in which it expects help from India. Its relations with China are economically important, but Muizzu is making it clear that this will not pose any threat to India's security.

Economic crisis and India's support

Amidst the economic crisis of Maldives, this visit of Muizzu is considered very important. Issues like financial assistance and debt restructuring from India can be discussed, which will prove helpful in improving the economic condition of Maldives.

Looking at this changed stance of President Muizzu, it can be said that the relations between India and Maldives can become stronger in the coming times, where both the countries will move forward giving priority to each other's security and economic interests.
