Maldivesā ruling Peopleās National Congress party won an absolute majority in parliament in elections held Sunday, giving President Mohamed Muizzuās pro-China policies a boost.
President Muizzuās party won 71 seats seats in 93-member parliament or Majlis, reported The Edition a local news platform, Monday. The main opposition party, the Maldivian Democratic Party, won 12 seats.
Muizzu won the presidential vote last year on a campaign to reduce Indiaās influence in the island. The president moved soon after taking office to demand the removal of Indian troops stationed on one of the countryās islets. New Delhi has agreed to withdraw its troops, who operate radars and aircraft, from the island nation by May 10.
Beijing, in the meantime, upgraded its diplomatic ties with the Maldives to a ācomprehensive strategic cooperative partnershipā during Muizzuās five-day visit to China in January. China agreed to provide free military assistance to the Maldives and President Xi Jinping said China will seek to boost direct flights to the island nation. The two countries also agreed to increase cooperation in areas of trade, investment, agriculture and others.
If I had to guess it probably has to do with the BJPās support of israel
Not really. There was some small dispute between India and Maldives, and some idiots here carried out an online campaign against Maldives. That worked about as well as youād expect. Never thought a bunch of keyboard warriors could destroy decades of diplomatic efforts, but here we are.
Good for them
Quick question: these are spies?
Seems more like diplomats to meā¦
Guy who made the video sure sounds like a spy. āI dont really careā¦ but here is why you shouldā¦ I dont support either sideā¦ but you better support the status quo.ā
