Even though Maldives President Mohammad Muizzu was in India, the Maldives government's hatred for India does not seem to be decreasing. Muizzu came to India to attend Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony. Before coming to the swearing-in ceremony, Muizzu said that it would be an honour for him to attend Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony. There is hope of improvement in relations between India and Maldives in the new term of the Modi government. On one hand there was talk of improvement in relations, on the other hand, Maldives' government broadcaster Public Service Media cancelled the live telecast of Modi's swearing-in ceremony at the last moment.
This was Muizzu's first visit to India after becoming the President of Maldives on 17 November last year. Muizzu's stance is pro-China. There was a lot of tension in the relations between India and Maldives since he assumed the post of President of Maldives. Just a few hours after taking oath, he demanded the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from his country. Earlier this month, civilians were deployed in place of Indian military personnel. Muizzu's invitation to attend the swearing-in ceremony and then his visit to Delhi was considered important in view of the recent tense relations between India and Maldives. But it seems that the tense relations will not be completely fine soon.
