According to the global network on December 4**, Muiz, the new Maldives**, publicly stated that India ** has agreed to withdraw Indian troops stationed on the territory of the Maldives. Muiz noted that the two sides have discussed the withdrawal of troops and reached a consensus on the establishment of a high-level committee for development projects.
At present, the size of India's troops in the Maldives is about 75 troops, and the actual situation may be much higher than this appearance. Over the years, India has deployed Dornier 228 maritime patrol aircraft and Polaris** in the Maldives in the name of providing military aid and disaster relief, as well as a naval dockyard and 10 additional radar stations.
The military cooperation between former Saleh and Modi in the Maldives has raised doubts among Moiz, who believes that India's presence "undermines sovereignty" and insists on ensuring that there are no foreign troops in the Maldives.
When issuing the "eviction order", Muiz stressed that "the military of China and other countries must be allowed to replace the Indian army", but India focuses on hyping up "Chinese influence".
Some India** believe that Muiz is pro-China, emphasizing China's "large investment" in the Maldives, and even hyping that the Maldives "leased 10 islands" for China's use. The Indian media tried to emphasize "India's competition with China" by mentioning Sri Lanka and Nepal.
Despite the close ties between the Maldives and China, the hype in India** may not be realistic. In the past, India interfered in the internal affairs of small neighboring countries through military stationing and infiltration, but China's cooperation with countries such as the Maldives is based on the principle of equality and mutual benefit, and has avoided such problems.
The Indian media complained that India's investment in neighboring countries failed to achieve the goal of "containing China", but did not reflect on the reasons.
While India reluctantly withdrew its troops, China actively cooperated with the Maldives to develop. Mouiz** supports the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and hopes that through this move, the Maldives economy will flourish. In fact, the construction of the China-Malaysia Friendship Bridge has become a concrete embodiment of the cooperation between the two sides.
China has also provided support to the Maldives to the best of its ability, including medical technical support and desalination facilities**. These are in line with the current needs of the Maldives and show that China cares about its friends.
As a result, the Maldives has chosen to develop a cooperative relationship with China, and India's ambitions have become too obvious, and the Maldives has undoubtedly seen through this. In an equal and mutually beneficial relationship, it is more beneficial for the Maldives to get along with China.
