Maldivian president orders Indian army withdrawal
Will not tolerate any foreign army on Maldivian soil: Dr Mohamed Muizzu.
Maldive: Dr Mohamed Muizzu, the recently elected President of the Maldives, has issued a directive for the immediate withdrawal of Indian troops from his country, citing concerns over the sovereignty and security of the Maldives.
Foreign media outlets have reported that President Muizzu made it clear that he expects all Indian military personnel to vacate Maldivian territory without delay.
President Muizzu has expressed apprehensions about the presence of Indian troops in his country, stating that it poses potential risks to the sovereignty and stability of the Maldives.
This directive came shortly after his electoral victory, and it was conveyed during a meeting with the Indian ambassador.
It's worth noting that the Maldives has faced what many see as excessive and unwarranted interference from India in the past.
With the call for the Indian army's withdrawal, the new Maldivian leadership signals a shift in the nation's approach and reasserts its sovereignty, which had been a matter of concern in their relations with India.
This move could also have consequences for the investments made with the goal of exerting influence in the Maldives.
