External affairs minister S Jaishankar is set to pay an official visit to the Maldives from August 9 to August 11. This visit marks the first high level engagement by India with the Maldives since Mohamed Muizzu assumed the presidency late last year.
Jaishankar’s visit comes after the recent trip of President Muizzu to India, where he attended the swearing-in ceremony of the new cabinet and council of ministers.
The visit highlights the ongoing efforts to bolster ties between the two nations, with Jaishankar scheduled to hold discussions with his Maldivian counterpart, Moosa Zameer, on various aspects of development cooperation. He will also meet with President Muizzu during his stay.
Maldives is a key maritime neighbour and a vital partner in India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy and its Vision ‘SAGAR’—security and growth for all in the Region.
EAM Jaishankar last visited the Maldives in January 2023, reflecting the sustained diplomatic engagement between the two nations.
