In a major shift of mindset, Maldivian President Mohammed Muizzu, famous for his pro-China stance has thanked New Delhi for the big financial aid relieving the economically-stressed nation of heavy debts. Acknowledging India as its “closest ally,” President Muizzu after landing his nation into a massive debt trap, expressed gratitude to India for a crucial support of Rs. 400 crores, helping the Maldives maintain its economic sovereignty. Concurrently, the island nation also sought to address the decline in Indian tourists arriving in the island nation by dispatching Tourism Minister Ibrahim Faisal to India for an extravagant six-day visit to promote tourism through the “Welcome India” initiative.
