External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar engages in a "frank conversation" with Maldivian Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer during the NAM Summit in Uganda. Discussions include the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from the Maldives, ongoing development projects, and cooperation within SAARC and NAM. The meeting unfolds against the backdrop of heightened unease in India-Maldives relations, marked by Maldives' request for the withdrawal of Indian troops by March 15. While New Delhi has yet to officially respond, both leaders express commitment to strengthening cooperation amid diplomatic challenges.
