Shringla said that this is a remarkable change in relations when we consider that just one and a half years ago the Maldives government came to a certain ‘anti -India stance’. But I think in this period he understood that India is a reliable and stable partner and India is the only country in difficult times where they can go. The former Foreign Secretary said that all this (change) does not happen on its own. There has been a very strong contact and our diplomacy has worked very effectively and the fact that such an important journey is taking place reflects the results of these important initiatives.

Shringla said that India’s policies have been very effective in maintaining continuous support for our nearest neighbors. He further said that I am confident that the Prime Minister’s visit will further strengthen our close ties, which are emerging as a very important partnership. We have a nearby neighbor in the Maldives Indian Ocean, so this partnership is very important. Shringla said that this would be an excellent journey that would have many achievements. We are working on one of the largest infrastructure projects in the region so far. The Greater Male connectivity project is being launched by a top company. This will bring a significant change in the entire economy and society of Maldives. Prime Minister Modi will be present at a time when this project is clearly visible.
