Maldivian President Reaches Out To China For Tourism Boost Amidst India Tensions

As India-Maldives diplomatic tensions brewing, President Muizzu has made a ‘desperate’ attempt to boost tourism. Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu requested China to intensify efforts to send more tourists. This appeal comes in the wake of a diplomatic spat with India after Maldivian MPs’ derogatory remarks. During his 5-day visit, President Muizzu described China as the “closest” ally of Maldives.
