China's Influence: Maldives' Affiliation.!
Maldives, the smallest island country in the indian Ocean, has exhibited a pro-China stance since the presidency of Mohammad Meijju. The Maldivian President chose china for his inaugural foreign visit, indicative of the nation's data-alignment. Despite earlier supportive gestures toward india, Meijju has recently taken actions raising concerns.
In response, the maldives government has demanded an explanation from india, alleging a violation of international maritime laws. The Ministry of Defense of the maldives issued a statement accusing the indian Navy of intercepting its fishing boats without prior notice, challenging India's actions in the Maldives' claimed area. The Maldivian government seeks accountability, urging india to provide a clarification and address the incident involving the indian Coast Guard ship intercepting Maldivian boats. As tensions rise, the response from the government of india is awaited.
