Muizzu had announced the withdrawal of Indian troops
Various projects going on in Maldives with India's cooperation were also discussed. Maldivian President Mohammed Muizzu had announced the withdrawal of Indian troops from Maldives as soon as he assumed power. Muizzu is considered pro-China. This is the reason why after becoming the President, Muizzu's first foreign trip was to China, whereas usually the President of Maldives visits India first. Muizzu's party also runs anti-India campaigns in Maldives.
China wants to increase its influence in Maldives
Currently, about 70 Indian soldiers are present in Maldives. Apart from these, one Dornier 228 Maritime Patrol aircraft and two HAL Dhruv helicopters are also present in Maldives. Maldives holds great strategic importance due to its geographical location in the Indian Ocean. This is the reason why if Indian troops withdraw from Maldives and China establishes its dominance there, then it will be a big blow for India.
