External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar strengthens India-Maldives ties during official visit
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu on Saturday (August 10, 2024) and emphasised New Delhi's commitment to deepen India-Maldives ties for the benefit of the people in the two countries and the region.
Mr. Jaishankar is on a three-day official visit to Maldives to reset the bilateral relationship, the first high-level trip from India after the archipelago nation's pro-China president Muizzu assumed office in 2023.
"Privileged to call on President Dr Mohamed Muizzu. Conveyed greetings of PM Narendra Modi. Committed to deepening India-Maldives ties for the benefit of our people and the region," Jaishankar posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) along with a photograph of the meeting.
Mr. Jaishankar's trip to the Maldives comes weeks after President Muizzu's visit to India in June to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
