In the complex landscape of international relations, the upcoming state visit to China by Maldives Mouiz marks an important moment in 2024. The visit is not only an affirmation of relations between the two countries, but also a clear signal of Muiz's policy direction.
Muiz**'s diplomatic tactics are clearly different from those of his predecessors. The decision to choose Turkey over traditionally India for his first state visit reflects his pursuit of diplomatic diversity. This shift in strategy may be an attempt to find a more balanced position between China and India, but it may also be to avoid being labelled as "pro-India".
Muiz's domestic policy also shows his pragmatism. As Minister of Housing and Minister of Construction, he has been involved in a number of major infrastructure projects, including the high-profile China-Maldives Friendship Bridge. These projects have not only strengthened the cooperation between China and Malaysia, but also laid the foundation for the development of the Maldives.
Against the backdrop of geopolitics, the position of Muiz ** is sensible. He stressed that the Maldives will not get involved in the competition between major powers, but will choose to cooperate with all countries, including China and India. Such a position would help the Maldives to safeguard its sovereignty and national interests.
These initiatives by Mouiz** are undoubtedly seeking a more independent and balanced role for the Maldives on the international stage. His policies and actions show that he is not only seeking economic cooperation, but also the long-term future of the Maldives. In the process, he also demonstrated his steadfastness in upholding national sovereignty.
Overall, Muiz's foreign and domestic policies show that he is thoughtful about the future of the Maldives. His policies may bring new opportunities for the Maldives to develop, while also earning the Maldives more respect and voice in international relations. With his visit to China approaching, we have reason to expect that the relations between the two countries will usher in a new stage of development.
