According to media reports, President Muizzu has bluntly said that no one has the license to threaten us. Earlier, the indecent and derogatory remarks of some Maldivian leaders regarding PM Modi have strained the relations between the two countries. After which boycott of Maldives is trending on behalf of Indian people.
Appealed for compensation from China
Let us tell you that after the controversy arising out of posting on social media against PM Modi, many people of India have canceled their plans to go to Maldives. Due to this, the economy of Maldives is suffering a lot of loss. At the same time, Maldives has appealed to China to compensate for this loss. Maldives has asked China to inspire more and more of its people to go to Maldives. Muizzu has said that before Covid, the names of people from China were among the maximum number of people coming to Maldives. He has appealed to China to make efforts so that more and more Chinese people visit Maldives.
China opposes external interference in Maldives – Beijing
It is noteworthy that amid the ongoing political crisis between India and Maldives, Beijing had said on Thursday that it firmly opposes external interference in the internal affairs of Maldives and supports it in maintaining the sovereignty and independence of the island nation. At the same time, after Muizzu’s talks with top Chinese leaders, a joint statement said that both sides agreed to continue to strongly support each other to protect their core interests.
Without naming India, China said that China firmly supports Maldives in maintaining national sovereignty, independence and national dignity. Actually Moijju is a staunch supporter of China. During his six-day visit to China, he also signed several agreements with Dragon. Overall, in recent times, Maldives has become distant from India, while its closeness to China has increased. Recently, after Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep, three ministers of the Maldives government had made objectionable comments on some pictures of PM Modi’s visit. Since then the diplomatic dispute between the two countries has deepened. After the controversy over the matter escalated, these three ministers were suspended. But after this the Lakshadweep Maldives dispute gave further impetus to this incident.
