Eight months after India withdrew its military personnel from the Maldives, the island nation’s Defence Minister, Mohammed Ghassan Maumoon, will visit India for three days starting Wednesday to strengthen military ties. Maumoon will hold extensive talks with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and meet senior officials in New Delhi. India had withdrawn around 80 military personnel from the Maldives after its pro-China President Mohamed Muizzu requested their removal, marking a shift in bilateral relations.
