Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has said that he has chosen Maldives to be his first visit after his re-election because it is the closest neighboring country.
The Indian Prime Minister is set to arrive in the Maldives on Saturday evening. He is set to sign a number of agreements and address the Maldivian parliament as part of this official visit.
In a Tweet sent out today, Prime Minister Modi said that the Maldives is “]key maritime neighbor” and thanked President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih for the invitation.
I would be visiting the Maldives and Sri Lanka on 8th and 9th June. These visits indicate the importance we attach to the policy of ‘Neighbourhood First’ and will further cement ties with key maritime neighbours. https://t.co/vMW2cT55EZ
