During his ongoing visit to India, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu extended an invitation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the Maldives.

The announcement was made during a joint press statement following a meeting between the two leaders. President Dr Muizzu invited PM Modi to attend the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Maldives and India.

If Modi accepts the invitation, this visit would mark Modi's third trip to the Maldives as Prime Minister. He previously visited Malé in 2022 for the swearing-in ceremony of former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.
