Discussions between India and the Maldives recognized the importance of Indian assistance in providing military equipment and disaster response. A high-level committee will be set up to address development project issues. India and China have been competing for influence in the region, with Muizzu's coalition leaning more towards China.

"Muizzu's Election Puts Indo-Maldives Ties to the Test, China Gains Advantage"

President-elect Mohamed Muizzu of the Maldives, backed by a coalition close to China, stated that foreign military forces must leave the country, without specifying any particular country. Muizzu's victory in the presidential elections is expected to impact the country's relations with India and China. In the past, Muizzu's party has expressed concerns about India's influence and accused it of seeking a permanent military presence in the Maldives. India, which denies these claims, has stated that it will wait and watch Muizzu's policies and hopes to work with him.

"Pro-China candidate Mohamed Muizzu emerges victorious in Maldives presidential election"

Mohamed Muizzu has won the presidential election in the Maldives, defeating incumbent Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in a run-off. Muizzu's victory is seen as a win for the pro-China camp, as his party has welcomed Chinese loans and cracked down on dissent in the past. The election was seen as a test of the country's democracy and its ties with China and India. Muizzu's win could have implications for the Maldives' foreign policy, particularly in the battle for influence between China and India. However, it is unlikely that Muizzu will change the country's policy of maintaining a strong relationship with India.
