Maldives first in India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy: PM to President Muizzu

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed the Maldives’ pivotal role in India’s ‘Neighborhood First’ policy and SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) vision during a meeting with Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu on Monday. The two leaders discussed deepening bilateral ties after a period of strained relations between the nations.
“India and Maldives relations are centuries old. India is Maldives’ nearest neighbor and close friend,” PM Modi said. “Maldives holds an important position in our neighborhood policy and SAGAR vision. India has always played the role of first responder for Maldives.”
The meeting took place during Muizzu’s state visit to India, his first since assuming office in November last year.
