Maldives’ external debt servicing to touch $1.07 bn in 2026. Economic realities have forced a change in tactics towards India by the ‘pro-China’ Muizzu government.
Zameer's visit coincides with the departure of the last batch of Indian military personnel from Maldives, stationed to support three aviation platforms in the archipelago country.

The bill, submitted by Maldivian Democratic Party, states that if the date of the election coincides with day of Ramadan, polls shall be held 10 days after end of Ramadan.
Two top Opposition parties boycotted Muizzu’s speech. They are against the Maldivian President’s stark “anti-India” pivot and hold a majority in the House.
Muizzu told Parliament he'd ‘remain steadfast’ & not give in to any external pressure. The 2 main oppn parties boycotted his inaugural address at start of final session of Parliament.
77 unarmed Indian military personnel are present as part of an MoU between two countries. MEA’s statement on talks held between two countries has no mention of troop withdrawal.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
