India Raises Essential Commodity Quotas to Maldives Despite Diplomatic Tensions

India has increased its quota of essential commodities exported to the Maldives, described by the Indian High Commission as the largest ever quota increase under the 1981 Agreement on Trade Cooperation, and extended that agreement for two additional years. Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer thanked India for the renewal, drawing criticism at home and in India, while External Affairs Minister Jaishankar replied that India remains committed to its Neighbourhood First and SAGAR policies.
