The Maldives has formally requested India to provide details of an incident in which its coast guard personnel allegedly boarded three Maldivian fishing vessels within its economic zone, leading to strained bilateral ties after President Mohamed Muizzu, seen as a pro-China leader, came to power. The Indian government intercepted the vessels within the Maldives' Special Economic Zone, prompting the Maldivian government to seek comprehensive details of the incident.
