The Economic Ministry of Maldives announced today that Minister Mohammed Saeed convened a meeting with Munu Muhawara, the Indian Ambassador to Maldives, to discuss trade and economic cooperation between the two nations.
While specific details of the discussions were not disclosed, the talks underscored the importance of fostering bilateral trade relations and enhancing economic collaboration between Maldives and India.
The meeting comes against a backdrop of strained diplomatic relations between the two countries since the current government assumed power. The shift in the India First policy of the previous administration is believed to be a significant factor contributing to the deterioration of relations.
Despite these challenges, India remains a crucial partner for Maldives, with shared interests and economic ties that transcend political differences. Both nations recognize the importance of maintaining constructive dialogue and cooperation to promote mutual prosperity and regional stability.
