China Refutes India’s Claims on Maldives’ Troop Withdrawal Request

China, through the state-affiliated China Daily, rejected claims that Beijing influenced the Maldives' request that India withdraw its 88 military personnel by March 15, articulated during the first meeting of the India-Maldives High-Level Core Group. The Maldivian government also denied any clandestine military agreement with China concerning Makunudhoo Island, while India's Ministry of External Affairs acknowledged the withdrawal discussion.
