Modi-Muizzu Meeting: India-Maldives Discuss Concerns & 'Sensitivities'
The face-to-face talks between the Indian PM and new Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu are their first since Muizzu took office last month.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu held a bilateral meeting on Friday on the sidelines of the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai, both countries said.
According to the Maldives’ President’s Office, Muizzu discussed cooperation between the two countries on “matters of concern and sensitivities” as well as on mutual benefits.
Since assuming office last month, Muizzu has formally asked India to
withdraw over 70 military personnel stationed in the Indian Ocean nation.
The Indian personnel are involved in operations and maintenance of Dornier aircraft and two Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH), all of which have been gifted by New Delhi.
The Maldivian president's office didn’t make a specific mention of Indian military personnel.
Male said that both the leaders also “re-affirmed their commitment” to bolstering bilateral ties.
According to a statement by the Indian foreign ministry, Modi and Muizzu reviewed “wide-ranging bilateral relations”, including in the realms of development and economic cooperation, people-to-people ties, climate change and sports.
“The two leaders also discussed ways to further deepen their partnership. In this regard, they agreed to set up a core group,” the Indian statement noted.
Muizzu has raised eyebrows in India as he paid an
official visit to Turkiye on his first international visit as president.
Previously, it’s been a norm for new Maldivian Presidents to visit New Delhi on their maiden international trips.
