Maldives President's Pakistan Visit Sparks Debate Over India Relations
Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu's recent visit to Pakistan marked the first by a Maldivian leader in 11 years, resulting in 20 MoUs covering areas like defence, trade, and cybersecurity. The visit reflects Muizzu's aim to diversify foreign relations beyond India, including partnerships with Pakistan, China, and Turkey. However, opposition leaders in Maldives, including former president Mohammed Nasheed, warn that closer ties with Pakistan could jeopardize the country's longstanding security relationship with India and risk diplomatic repercussions if New Delhi perceives a threat.
