New Delhi backs it up with financial bonanza to help Maldives meet its development needs and debt repayment obligations
There were two major outcomes of the official visit of the Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu to India: New Delhi has brought Male under its security umbrella and has backed it up with a financial bonanza to help Maldives meet its development needs and debt repayment obligations.
President Muizzu had talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 7 and was scheduled to visit Agra, Mumbai and Bengaluru before going back to Male.
Security Dimension
On the security dimension, the Indo-Maldivian Vision Document had the following things to say:
India and Maldives share common challenges in the Indian Ocean Region which have multi-dimensional implications for the security and development of both the countries. As natural partners, they resolve to work together in advancing the maritime and security cooperation for the benefit of peoples of both India and Maldives as well as for the larger Indian Ocean Region.
