PM Modi Meets Maldives President Muizzu in Major Reset After 'India Out' Row

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu signals a diplomatic reset after months of tension stemming from the ‘India Out’ campaign.

 

The leaders’ dialogue marks a turning point in India-Maldives relations, reinforcing mutual respect and cooperation in the Indian Ocean region.

 

Held on the sidelines of a regional summit, the bilateral conversation focused on rebuilding trust and enhancing maritime security, climate action, and people-to-people ties. Muizzu’s earlier stance had strained diplomatic relations, especially with the removal of Indian military personnel from Maldives under public pressure driven by the ‘India Out’ slogan.

 

However, the recent meeting demonstrated a shift in tone, with both leaders emphasizing the importance of historic and strategic ties. India assured continued developmental aid and infrastructure support, while Muizzu acknowledged the need to maintain a balanced foreign policy.

 

Analysts view this move as a necessary recalibration in the face of growing Chinese influence in the Indian Ocean. India’s outreach reaffirms its “Neighbourhood First” policy, while the Maldives leadership seeks to avoid isolation in South Asian geopolitics.

 

This diplomatic thaw is being seen as a win for regional cooperation and stability. As both countries look ahead, the commitment to transparency, mutual benefits, and respect for sovereignty will be crucial in writing the next chapter of India-Maldives relations.
