Amid row with India, Maldivian president asks China to 'send more tourists'
Maldivian President Mohamed Muizou said: "China remains one of our closest friends and development partners."
Maldives Maldives President Mohamed Muizou on Tuesday asked China to "step up" efforts to send more tourists to the Maldives; Because the country's leaders spoke negatively about India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi sparked controversy. Muizu's comments came during his five-day official visit to China. Speaking at a Maldives business conference in Fujian province, Mohamed Muizou described China as the island nation's "closest" friend.
Praising the Belt and Road Initiative launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2014, he said, "China remains one of our closest friends and development partners." He said the project "implemented the most important project in the history of the Maldives." . The President of the Maldives asked China to increase the number of tourists to the Maldives.
"Before the new epidemic, China was our largest market (Maldives), I ask that we strengthen our efforts to help China regain this position," he said. It was reported that the two countries also signed a $50 million project to develop tourism in the Maldives. This comes after an argument between the two countries after some Maldivian leaders commented on Prime Minister Modi's visit to Lakshadweep. All three presidents have been suspended and the Maldives Association of Tourism Industry (MATI) has decided not to comment.
