Maldives and India look to move forward, give direction to ties

Maldives foreign minister Moosa Zameer has expressed the Muizzu government's willingness to work with India, despite external affairs minister S Jaishankar's emphasis on mutual interests and reciprocal sensitivity. The two sides discussed India-funded projects in the Maldives during a meeting. Zameer's visit amid anti-India rhetoric in the Maldives is a signal that the Muizzu administration is trying to establish a working relationship.
