Will visit India soon, says Maldives prez Muizzu

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu highlighted the robust bilateral relationship with India and announced plans for a visit soon. He clarified that Maldivians are against any foreign military presence, not specifically targeting India. His administration’s ‘India-out’ stance led to replacing Indian military personnel with civilians, causing some strain in relations following derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
