Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed has always been a strong advocate of Maldives-India relations, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
Modi made the remarks during his two-day official visit to Maldives, during which he met with several senior political leaders, including Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef, former President Nasheed, Speaker of Parliament Abdul Raheem Abdulla, and members of different political parties.
In a post shared on social media following the meetings, Modi said Nasheed has always been a strong advocate of deeper India-Maldives friendship.
The discussions focused on how the Maldives will always be a valued pillar of our ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy and Mahasagar vision, he said.
“India will keep supporting Maldives through capacity building and developmental cooperation,” Modi said.
He added that the meeting with participation of leaders across the political spectrum underscores the bipartisan support for the strong and time-tested India-Maldives friendship.
"Our shared values continue to guide this important partnership," he said.
