On February 18, local time, the Maldives and India officially signed an agreement, confirming two important dates for India's withdrawal from the Maldives. 
According to the agreement, the first Indian military personnel will be evacuated by March 10 and the remaining Indian military personnel by May 10. The fact that the Maldives was able to successfully drive out the Indian garrison is not only related to the governing philosophy of the Maldives ** Muiz, but also related to the number and purpose of the Indian garrison. 
Previously, India's military presence in the Maldives consisted mainly of a garrison of 75 people, as well as a number of reconnaissance aircraft. In comparison, the Maldives has about 100,000 defense soldiers, including 50,000 in the navy alone. 
India's military presence in the Maldives is not primarily aimed at colonizing the Maldives, but more for the purpose of detecting and monitoring the waters around the Maldives, which was explicitly halted under an agreement signed between India and the Maldives in 2019 that allowed hydrographic surveys across the Maldives to carry out hydrographic surveys on 1,192 coral reef islands throughout the Maldives. 
Although India has only 75 troops stationed in the Maldives, because it is a matter of national sovereignty and national image, Muiz is a person who has decided to lead the Maldives to an independent line, so naturally he cannot allow any troops to be stationed on the territory. In the past, some Maldives belonged to the "pro-India faction", and in order to obtain benefits from India, they also signed a lot of articles of a ** nature. 
It took only more than two months for Muiz to come to power and then to completely drive out the Indian garrison, and from now on, Muiz is fully qualified to say that "the Maldives has stood up", and this "standing up" is not only in terms of the country's image, but also in the country's military level and the country's economy.
Before 2011, the Maldives was one of the world's least developed countries certified by the United Nations, and in order to achieve economic development, the Maldives sold some national interests in exchange for investment from India, which was really a helpless move. But now the Maldives doesn't have to be so humble anymore, because there is a better option for the Maldives besides India, and that is China. 
With a population of about 530,000 people, the Maldives is located on the Asia-Europe shipping route, close to Asia, Africa and Australia. The Maldives and China are close to each other, China has the capital and technology, and the infrastructure capacity is the best in the world, and the Maldives can also earn a lot of benefits from China's maritime industry and tourists, and the economies of the two countries are very complementary. 
No matter how small the country is, it is also dignified, judging from a series of actions after Muiz came to power, Muiz is definitely a ** who can do great things. India, as a British colony in the past, still has troops stationed in the Maldives, which also shows from the side that India's idea of regional hegemony is still very serious, and it will get rid of India's clutches as soon as possible and exchange for peace and quiet as soon as possible.

In the past, India often regarded the Maldives as its own backyard, but now that the Maldives has stood up, it can be seen from Muiz's visit to China and then to India that China is more popular in the international community than India.
