News India Live, Digital Desk: New Beginning of India-Maldives Relations: Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently visited Maldives, where he was warmly welcomed by the newly elected President Mohammad Muizu. The Prime Minister went to Maldives to attend the swearing -in ceremony of Muizu, the yatra makes the fact that Mujju is considered a supporter of the ‘India Out’ campaign. This was Prime Minister Modi’s first visit after the formation of the new government in Maldives. Significantly, even before this, the Prime Minister has visited Maldives; He had a state visit in June 2023 and also visited the country to see the Indian football team playing in the FIFA World Cup qualifier match. Earlier in December 2019, he went to Maldives to start an Indian aid project, and in July 2022 he also visited here in connection with an event related to a G20. The journey was seen in the midst of the ongoing speculation about the future of bilateral relations between the two countries, especially when President Muizuju is seen as a prominent supporter of the ‘India Out’ campaign. President Mujju’s election victory was very important, especially his election campaign over relations with India. He focused his campaign on the ‘India Out’ movement. He has been a close supporter of former President Abdulla Yameen, who openly exhibited anti -India and anti -India sentiments. At the same time, in contrast to him, Yameen’s predecessor Ibrahim Mohammad Solih was considered a pro -India. In the first speech given after his victory, President Mujju spoke of maintaining his priorities, but also expressed confidence that his government will be able to maintain creative and beneficial relations with all neighboring countries including India. This statement shows that despite the backdrop of ‘India Out’, Maldives is not completely in the mood to break his relations with India. Prime Minister Modi and President Mujju also met during the COP28 summit in Dubai earlier this year. This was India’s first high-level contact with the new Maldives administration, which was described by Indian authorities as ‘creative’. During this, Prime Minister Modi congratulated Mujju for his victory in the democratic elections.
