Foreign Minister Calls on Media to Avoid Reporting That Harms Foreign Relations

Foreign Minister Abdulla Khaleel called on media to avoid reporting that harms Maldives' foreign relations, describing such actions as attacking one's own country. He spoke at the launch of a documentary by state broadcaster PSM on Independence Day. Khaleel referenced the 'India Out' campaign, which he and President Muizzu previously supported but later confirmed was based on unfounded claims. The government has since moved to mend ties with India. Critics note the irony of the current call for media responsibility given the administration's earlier anti-India rhetoric.
