India Ready To Help Maldives In Enhancing Its Defence Preparedness: Rajnath Singh
Millennium Post Delhi|January 09, 2025
India on Wednesday conveyed to the Maldives its readiness to support the island nation in enhancing its defence preparedness as Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held "fruitful" talks with his Maldivian counterpart Mohammed Ghassan Maumoon focusing on maritime security cooperation in the Indian Ocean.

In a post on X, Singh said the discussions will add "new vigour" to India-Maldives relations.

The two defence ministers "reasserted" their firm commitment to work closely in realising the joint vision for India-Maldives comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership, according to an Indian readout. Maumoon is on a three-day visit to India, nearly eight months after New Delhi completed pulling out its military personnel from the Maldives following a demand by its pro-China President Mohamed Muizzu.

The overall episode had significantly frayed the ties between the two nations. However, there was a thaw in the relations following Muizzu’s visit to Delhi in October.
