Prime Minister Narendra Modi has returned from a two -day visit to Maldives. This journey was special because he was invited as the chief guest at the Independence Day celebrations of Maldives. This was the first high -level visit of a foreign leader after President Mohammad Mujju came to power. During this tour, India announced a large credit line of $ 565 million (about Rs 4,800 crore) for Maldives, which will be used in projects related to hospitals, schools, housing and infrastructure.

Along with this, it was also agreed to start talks between India and Maldives regarding the free trade agreement (FTA). Maldives President Mujju termed PM Modi’s visit as historic and termed India as the most trusted partner and ‘first responder’.

Mujju came to power by giving the slogan of ‘India Out’

Mujju came to power only by giving India Out slogan, after which India also had to recall its army and now they themselves want India to have a free trade deal and the people of India should go there as tourists as before so that the economy of Maldives remains on the track.

China shocks, resentment in media

China’s concern has increased due to the growing proximity between India-Maldives. China’s official mouthpiece Global Times has reacted sharply to the Indian media coverage regarding this tour. The report said that India is showing it to weaken China’s influence in Maldives.

Kian Feng, an expert at Beijing-based Tsinghua University, described the attitudes of the Indian media as ‘old thinking’ and said that it shows the mentality like ‘Zero-S-Game’.

China is still making this claim

China also reminded that President Mujju went on a visit to Beijing in January and then described China as the closest friend of Maldives. Mujju then said that Maldives supports China’s efforts for global peace and justice. However, the current developments show that Mujju’s foreign policy is now moving towards balance and relations with India are being given priority again.

During PM Modi’s visit, India has announced a new loan limit of $ 565 million for Maldives. The agreement to reduce its annual loan payment by 40 per cent has also been signed. Mohammad Moizu said that he will soon visit India.

Mujju praised PM Modi fiercely

Analysts believe that the main objective of Mujju is to bring the geographical and economic condition of the Maldives on the track. He cannot ignore India in the field of business, contact and tourism. Mujju said, “India is one of the major tourism countries that helps Maldives in the field of tourism. It is going to increase significantly after PM Modi’s visit. I am confident that this journey will increase the mutual exchange between the people of both countries.”

China will go to Tilamila after seeing the reception of PM Modi

However, despite being very tension in the relations between India and Maldives for some time, PM Modi will get to see such reception and hospitality in the Maldives. Actually, China is engaged in maintaining its impact by reducing India’s influence on Maldives. Two years ago, in 2023, Mozu Mujju came to power with a majority in power with the promise of Maldives ‘policy of Bharat I’ and ending India’s influence on Maldives.

After Maldives came to power, Mohammad Mujju traveled to his official visit to Beijing, the capital of China instead of New Delhi. During the visit, China entered into an agreement with Maldives for non-fatal weapons without any cost and also agreed to train the soldiers of Maldives.

But today after two years, India and Maldives are seen returning to track again. With this, China is seen to be shattering its desire to establish its influence in the Indian Ocean through the Maldives.

When there was a change of power in the year 2023 in Maldives, one of the good friends of India, the new power turned against India. Chinese supporter Mohammad Mujju became the new President there and with this, his statement against India started. He started talking about India Out, China, he started distance from India, distance from the people of India and as a result, India also made distance from Mujju.

It has not been spent even two years that Muizu has understood that if he has to run the government in Maldives, it is not possible without India. That is why Mujju, who cursed PM Modi by drinking water, began to feel so much need of India that when PM Modi reached the Maldives tour, President Mujju himself reached the airport to pick him up. So why did Mujju change such a heart in two years.

After all, what compulsion was in front of Mujju that he was forced to befriend India and is it that China forced to friendship, which has cheated Maldives in the name of friendship. After all, what is the whole story of Maldives President Mujju being bowed down, we will tell in detail.

In the Maldives, when Mohammad Mujju was to contest the election, he set the anti -India tone during the election and clearly said that the soldiers of India who are present in the Maldives will be thrown out as soon as they become President. With this opposing tone, Mujju was elected the new President of Maldives and as soon as he took power, he put the Maldives government against India. Some leaders of Maldives also posted it on social media and this made the anti -India stance of the new government of Maldives.

Then nothing was said by India. Yes, one day Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to Lakshadweep on his official visit and photographed it sitting in a chair and posted it on his social media handle. Then the Maldives who used to be buzzing with Indian tourists, in the Maldives’ economy, the tourists from India started to cancel their booking and started a debate on social media that better than the Maldives is the Lakshadweep of India. That is, the fight against India was not a diplomatic, but the common people of India.

Even then Mujju Pushpa was remained. They were saying that they would not bow down and the reason for this was that China then assured Mujju that we are against you against India, we are with you. Mujju also went on a visit to China to take it along. When he returned from there, he said that it is a matter of sovereignty of Maldives and the soldiers of India who are posted in Maldives will have to go back. India out raising the slogan loudly. At that time, Muizu did not know how hollow his country was getting inside, but soon he came to know about this.

He came to know that the help that China has talked about is not doing. The help that was expected from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries did not get it to Mujju. As a result, Maldives, already under debt, had neither money to repay the loan nor the interest of that loan. No one was ready to give a new loan.

In such a situation, Muizu had no other option but to take up India. He sent his Foreign Minister Moses Jamir to India. On 8, 9 and 10 May Moses Jamir India Foreign Minister [डॉ. एस जयशंकर से मिले. मूसा ने मदद मांगी और भारत ने भी मालदीव की सरकार की पुरानी गलतियों को माफ किया और फिर मालदीव की मदद की. इस मदद में मई 2024 में मालदीव को दी गई 50 मिलियन डॉलर की सहायता शामिल है. ये सहायता ट्रेजरी बिल के जरिए दी गई थी, जिसको एक साल के लिए रोल-ओवर कर दिया गया था.

फिर जब नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार प्रधानमंत्री बने तो मुइज्जु खुद उनके शपथ ग्रहण में शामिल हुए. और यहां से रिश्तों के बनने की जो शुरुआत हुई तो वो अब तक कायम है. भारत ने मालदीव की मदद के लिए दो करेंसी स्वैप एग्रीमेंट किया है, जिसकी कुल कीमत करीब 757 मिलियन डॉलर है. मालदीव में विकास के लिए भारत सरकार की मदद से करीब 800 मिलियन डॉलर की परियोजनाएं चल रही हैं. इनमें एक अंतरराष्ट्रीय एयरपोर्ट से लेकर राजधानी माले में बन रहा एक बड़ा हाउसिंग प्रोजेक्ट तक शामिल है. अभी हाल ही में भारत और मालदीव के बीच कुल 13 नए एग्रीमेंट हुए हैं. इसके अलावा सामरिक समझौतों पर भी अलग से बात चल रही है.

कुल मिलाकर कुछ दिनों तक चीन की कठपुतली बने मुइज्जु को ये समझ में आ गया कि मालदीव और मालदीव के लोगों की भलाई इसी में है कि वो भारत से अपनी पुरानी दोस्ती कायम रखें. दुश्मनी का अंजाम मुइज्जु देख ही चुके थे. तो उन्होंने अपना कोर्स करेक्शन किया, मालदीव के हित को अपने चुनावी वादे के ऊपर रखा और भारत से वही पुराने संबंध बहाल करने में जुट गए, जो हमेशा से रहे थे. भारत ने भी इसका स्वागत किया है और यही वजह है कि प्रधानमंत्री मोदी खुद मालदीव पहुंच गए हैं और उन्हें लेने के लिए खुद मुइज्जु सारे प्रोटोकॉल तोड़ते हुए एयरपोर्ट पहुंच गए और पीएम मोदी से खुले दिल से मिले…आखिर नया दोस्त जो आया था…
