MALE: Visit of President of Maldives to India

MALE: President of the Republic of Maldives, H.E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, will be travelling to India on a State visit on 6-10 October, 2024. This will be the first bilateral visit of President Dr. Muizzu to India. He had earlier visited India in June 2024 to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers.

During his visit to India, President Dr. Muizzu will meet Rashtrapati Ji and hold discussions with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on bilateral, regional, and international issues of mutual interest.

President Dr. Muizzu will also visit Mumbai and Bengaluru where he would be attending business events.

Maldives is India’s key maritime neighbor in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and holds a special place in Prime Minister’s vision of ‘SAGAR’ (Security and Growth for All in the Region) and India’s ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’.

The visit of President Dr. Muizzu to India after the recent visit of the External Affairs Minister to Maldives is testimony to the importance that India attaches to its relations with the Maldives and is expected to lend further momentum to cooperation and robust people to people ties between the two countries.
