Muizzu Slams India Upon Return From China

President Mohamed Muizzu, upon returning from a state visit to China, issued a firm rebuke towards India, asserting that Maldives' small size does not give any nation the right to bully it. He announced steps to diversify from India in emergency medical services, food security, and pharmaceutical imports. From 1 March, the national carrier's air ambulance will replace Indian aircraft in emergency operations. Agreements were reached with China for sustainable food security and with Türkiye for food staples importation. The government plans to import pharmaceuticals directly from Europe and the US. China reaffirmed support for Maldives' sovereignty. The diplomatic row with India escalated after Indian PM Modi's tourism promotion of Lakshadweep and controversial social media posts by Maldivian officials, leading to suspension of deputy ministers and a tourism boycott campaign against Maldives.
