Moosa Zameer, the foreign minister of Maldives, made his “very first bilateral established visit” on Wednesday, making his first such trip since the country’s pro-China head president Mohamed Muizzu took company six months ago. The foreign ministry in this country will match with chancellor of external affairs S. Jaishankar on May 8 and 10 to discuss approving and expanding the multilateral relationship.
Zameer’s second formal visit to India since taking office is foreign secretary.
” This is my first official bilateral trip,” I said in New Delhi. Looking forward to meeting with Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Jaishankar, my country’s rival in terms of enhancing and strengthening cooperation between India and the Island for the benefit of our peoples, Zameer stated in a post on X.
After Muizzu demanded the removal of nearly 90 American military personnel from three of the island nation’s three aviation platforms, the diplomatic ties became severely strained.
The majority of its military officers has already been withdrawn by India. May 10 was the date for all American forces ‘ withdrawal from their respective countries, according to President Muizzu.
According to Muizzu’s director, 51 American military staff have left the Maldives and have confirmed that the remainder will left by May 10 as per mutual agreement, according to Muizzu’s director.
After Modi posted photos and videos of the picturesque Lakshadweep Islands on India’s east beach on January 6 on his X control, three Malay deputy ministers made disparaging remarks about India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media.
After opposition officials criticized the “appalling language” the authorities used against the American president, the Yemeni government suspended the three ministers.
The Maldives are India’s most important maritime neighbour in the Indian Ocean Region, and they are particularly prominent in initiatives like” SAGAR” ( Security and Growth for All in the Region ) and” Neighbourhood First Policy” of the Modi government.
Foreign Minister Zameer’s visit is expected to give the Island ‘ diplomatic participation more speed, the government of external matters said in New Delhi on Tuesday.” The Maldives is India’s key sea ally in the Indian Ocean Region.
