Maldivian President Mohammed Muizzu, facing an economic crisis, has arrived in Delhi for a five-day visit to seek financial assistance. With foreign exchange reserves plummeting to $440M, the Maldives risks a debt default. Muizzu is expected to request a significant bailout from India, one of the country's largest development partners. Despite earlier adopting an "India out" stance, Muizzu emphasized the importance of dialogue, expressing confidence in India’s support. Relations between the nations have been strained due to Maldives’ increasing ties with China, but this visit could be crucial in restoring bilateral cooperation.
