Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a grand welcome at Vellana International Airport from the President of Maldives. This visit underscores India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy and its ‘SAGAR’ (Security and Growth for All in the Region) vision. The discussions focus on India providing "a helping hand to the Maldives to stabilize its stressful financial situation" through financial assistance to bolster its foreign exchange reserves. The engagement also revisits India’s historic role as a first responder, such as during the 1988 coup attempt. Furthermore, the dialogue addresses the threat of rising radicalism within the island nation and its security implications for the region, including past attempts by Pakistan to establish terror camps on uninhabited islands. The visit is seen as an effort to revive and strengthen the bilateral relationship, especially after Maldives’ experience with the ‘China card’.
