India says Maldives symbolises our 'Neighbourhood First' policy
Hindustan Times Noida
|January 04, 2025
India on Friday pledged its continued support for the Maldives as the Indian Ocean archipelago grapples with economic issues, signalling a growing thaw in bilateral relations that went through a rough patch last year.
NEW DELHI:
At a meeting with his visiting Maldivian counterpart Abdulla Khaleel, external affairs minister S Jaishankar reiterated the importance India attaches to bilateral ties and "assured continued support to Maldives under India's 'Neighbourhood First' policy", the external affairs ministry said in a statement.
Jaishankar noted that there had been "some important and positive developments" in bilateral relations since Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu's visit to India last October, when the two sides agreed on a comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership to deepen ties.
"India has always stood by the Maldives. For us, you are a very concrete expression of our 'Neighbourhood First' policy," Jaishankar said, pointing to the assistance extended by India last year to help the Indian Ocean state cope with a debt crisis. This included the resubscription of treasury bills and currency swap lines of $400 million and ₹3,000 crore, which Jaishankar said were "very critical".
