India Reinforcing an
Alliance with Maldives
After the SAARC Summit, the Indian Prime
Minister will in Male, the capital of the Maldives have a bilateral visit on
the 11th and 12th. His visit to Male, Maldives is expected to inject new
momentum and content to our relations with this close and strategic neighbour
in the Indian Ocean. The last time there was a bilateral visit by the Prime
Minister of India to the Maldives was in September, 2002. The objectives of the
visit would be to reinforce India’s close bonds of friendship and solidarity
with the Maldives and to review the current status of our bilateral relations
with that country. A number of agreements are likely to be signed during the
bilateral visit. The Indian Prime Minister has also been invited to address the
People’s Majlis, the Parliament of the Maldives.
