'Had strong pro-China stance': After rough relations, ex-President Mohamed Nasheed on India-Maldives ties ahead of PM Modi's visit - here's what he said
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 Former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed affirmed the nation's commitment to an "India-first foreign policy," highlighting past fluctuations between pro-China and pro-India stances. He lauded India's crucial economic assistance, which prevented a default, and anticipates Prime Minister Modi's upcoming visit will boost tourism. Modi's visit occurs amidst improving relations following a diplomatic row earlier in 2024.
Amid rising trade tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “great prime minister” while criticizing India’s recent policies. Trump voiced frustration over India’s high tariffs and its continued purchase of Russian oil, warning of a 50% tariff hike on Indian goods. Despite the disagreements, Trump stressed that the U.S.-India partnership remains strong, calling Modi a friend while admitting “moments of tension.” His remarks follow concerns that India and Russia are aligning more closely with China, fueling geopolitical uncertainty.
