India's Ministry of External Affairs said the Maldives must decide its own international relations, responding as President Dr Mohamed Muizzu prepares for a state visit to China from January 7-12. The visit continues Muizzu's break from the tradition of Maldivian presidents visiting India first, and follows his choice of Türkiye for his initial official visit in November.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
This is a decision which Maldives has to take. We don’t have any comments on that. It is for them to decide where they go and how they go about their international relations.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
President Muizzu, accompanied by First Lady Sajidha Mohamed, is scheduled to visit China from January 7-12, following an invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
