The Indian Navy is closely monitoring the movement of the Chinese ocean research vessel XIANG YANG HONG 03, which is reportedly heading towards Male, the capital of the Maldives, amid concerns about China's increasing maritime presence in the Indian Ocean. This comes as the new Maldivian government seeks to strengthen ties with China, leading to deteriorating relations with India, with President Mohamed Muizzu calling for the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from the country.
Mohamed Muizzu has won the presidential election in the Maldives, defeating incumbent Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in a run-off. Muizzu's victory is seen as a win for the pro-China camp, as his party has welcomed Chinese loans and cracked down on dissent in the past. The election was seen as a test of the country's democracy and its ties with China and India. Muizzu's win could have implications for the Maldives' foreign policy, particularly in the battle for influence between China and India. However, it is unlikely that Muizzu will change the country's policy of maintaining a strong relationship with India.
