Leader of Communist Party of China reached Maldives, Dragon and Muizzu’s dangerous plan for Lakshadweep!
Sun Haiyan, Deputy Minister of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party, met Maldives President Mohammed Muizzu on Monday. It has been described as a courtesy call between the two leaders. According to the Maldives President’s Office, the meeting discussed ways to implement the agreements signed during Muizzu’s state visit to China. Sun Haiyan said that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, Chinese officials look forward to all-out cooperation with their Maldivian counterparts.
Sun Haiyan expressed interest in strengthening strategic bilateral relations and offering training possibilities to Maldives in various fields. On this, President Muizzu expressed his gratitude to China for the training opportunities and other means of support for the people of Maldives. He also talked about implementing the agreements signed between the two countries. Muizzu and Sun Haiyan also reviewed the recent success of direct flights between the Maldives and China and the possibility of expanding direct flights from several Chinese cities to the Maldives.
Plan for Lakshadweep also
During Sun Haiyan’s visit to Maldives, there is speculation that there will be talks on strengthening cooperation between China and Maldives in many fields as well as military aspect. Along with this, the revival of the China-led Joint Ocean Observation Station is being built in Makunudhu in 2017. This plan is said to be near Minicoy island near Lakshadweep. This is being considered as a plan being done in response to the recent dispute regarding Lakshadweep. Chinese leader Sun is on a visit to Maldives from January 21 to 23 at the invitation of Maldivian Foreign Minister Musa Zameer. She has met Muizzu and will also attend some other events. Sun’s visit follows President Muizzu’s state visit to China earlier this month. After Muizzu became President, such high-level visits from China to Maldives have increased.
