Foreign Fishing Boats Stopped Off Gan as Maldives Exercises Control Over Southern Waters

The Maldives Coast Guard intercepted two foreign fishing vessels 104 nautical miles off Gan Island, Addu City, as the government announced a surveillance operation over the Southern Special Economic Zone and said it would not recognise an ITLOS maritime boundary ruling with Mauritius. President Mohamed Muizzu told Parliament that his administration had withdrawn a letter from former president Ibrahim Mohamed Solih regarding Chagos Archipelago sovereignty.
