🇲🇻 In 2014, during Yameen's presidency, Maldives signed a $200M deal with China for Friendship Bridge.
However, only $170M was loaned at 5.6% interest. Labor, materials, &construction were provided by China.
Reports also suggest a demand for an island in return.

I call on the Government of Maldives to issue an official and public apology to H.E. PM Modi and the brotherly people of India during this state visit.
While in opposition, they crossed every line mocking, bullying and spreading hatred against PM Modi, Indian culture and the people of India. This is a reminder of how far things were taken and how dirty it was.
The India Out campaign was one of the biggest scams entirely on lies to win the election. Even after coming to power, India was labeled as the biggest bully until they finally realized the truth.
PM Modi’s visit sends a clear & powerful message.
Welcome to the Maldives, PM Modi.
India will always be our closest neighbor, a true friend and a huge contributor to our nation’s development.
🇲🇻 🇮🇳

India has been a generous dev partner for decades. Major projects from our 5-yr term are nearing completion, some to be inaugurated during PM's visit. This showcases the strong dev partnership between our nations. - Former FM Abdulla Shahid #IndiaMaldives

Maldives warmly anticipates Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit on July 25–26, 2025, a significant opportunity to strengthen our deep-rooted partnership with India.

Muizzu's government plans to secretly change the Right to Information Act to hide their wrongdoings. They also want to introduce a new journalism law to punish journalists who ask questions and try to hold the government accountable. #Journalismisnotcrime#RTI
