Post Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attendance at the swearing-in ceremony of the Maldivian President Ibrahim Solih, the two nations have seen a remarkable enhancement in their relationship. The previously perturbed ties have now turned into a celebrated bond. The two South Asian neighbors

seem rather pleased with this new development.

During the visit, Maldivian President Ibrahim Solih and Indian PM Narendra Modi discussed strategies for the development of the Maldivian economy. The Indian Prime Minister has also invited the Maldivian President to India. The two nations have taken into consideration the security concerns over the Indian Ocean, which has been a matter of dispute previously. The two nations seem to have reached an understanding and mutual respect for each other’s needs.

Post the Indian Prime Minister’s visit to the Indian Ocean archipelago, Maldives has expressed distress over ongoing Chinese projects that are adversely affecting the Maldivian economy, India has extended a helping hand in this situation.
