Pull out military staff by March 15, says Maldives

Sunday, 14 January 2024
Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu has set a deadline of March 15 for withdrawal of Indian military personnel - who operate two Indian naval choppers and a Dornier aircraft in the archipelago - from his country. The deadline was announced after the first meeting in Male of the India-Maldives core group which was formed after Muizzu's meeting with PM Modi on the margins of COP28 in Dubai. Muizzu said also that Maldives may be small but it can’t be bullied and that the Indian Ocean country was an independent and sovereign State and not “anyone’s backyard”.
