Hello
Maldives depends on Indian tourists during the off-season.
The serene beaches of Maldives, its luxurious resorts, guesthouses and rich cultural traditions were showcased as part of the road shows.
In January 2023, around 18, 612 Indian travellers had visited Maldives. However, in January 2024, it came down to 15,003.
The Maldives, which is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, is a haven for beach lovers.
Muizzu's administration is in the process of sending home a garrison of 89 Indian troops who patrol the Maldives' vast maritime borders.
Solih made these remarks days after Muizzu, widely seen as a pro-China leader, urged India to provide debt relief to the archipelago nation.
The Indian defence establishment said New Delhi is keeping a close watch on the movement of the Chinese ship.
The ties between the two countries came under some strain since Mohamed Muizzu came to power in November.
Tourism, including spiritual tourism, has tremendous opportunities for local entrepreneurship, said FM.
The development comes a day after clashes broke out in Parliament on Sunday between pro-government MPs and opposition lawmakers over differences over the approval of four members of the pro-China President's cabinet.
