Indo - Seychelles, Mauritius and Maldives Relations

it is 99% Muslim. Where do you come up with these kind of nonsensical questions ?

Lakshadweep is also 99% Muslim and if you go through the thread of foreign intelligence activities, there a post is on Lakshadweep, how it played an instrument in formation of SIMI and later IM. Maldives has direct connection with that.

You can't restrict them just like that.

Yeah we remember once you told about one of your colleagues going to collide with mountains in the vicinity of Mangalore , I hope i recalled it correctly. This was during that Air India crash in Kerala 2020.

Not mangalore but the flight between bangalore and coimbatur. The hills fall between that route. From Chennai to Coimbatur or from Kochi to Coimbatur, no such problems.

 

[Sathya]

Will you say the same for Kashmir and Kerala?

Lakshadweep is also 99% Muslim and if you go through the thread of foreign intelligence activities, there a post is on Lakshadweep, how it played an instrument in formation of SIMI and later IM. Maldives has direct connection with that.

You can't restrict them just like that.

We persist with Afgan engagement with even Talibans because of good will of Afgan people towards India.


With Maldives, After they go broke, might come back on track. We can hasten it by developing tourism in Lakshadweep.

Not every one in Maldives is anti Indian. The Chinese have spent money on elections there and also interfered a lot. Sooner or later the current government has to face protest by opposition.

Smaller the area, more costly and premium the real estate, that's how we can beat back the competitors in tourism. Utilise A&N & east coast and Lakshadweep & West coast as package offer both in premium and regular category. But first and foremost get your house in order when it comes to law & order, infrastructure both civil and private ones.

Usable dollar reserves run out for the first time in Maldives' history!

1 day ago

The state's usable dollar reserve has run out just days after the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) sent a warning letter to the Finance Ministry.

This is the first time in the country's history that the reserves have fallen to minus.

The MMA and the Finance Ministry were not available to comment on the matter, but Adhadhu understands that the remaining dollar reserves have been used up today.

Two separate reliable sources confirmed to Adhadhu that the usable dollar reserves are currently at a minus.

A source familiar with the government's finances said the government had a USD 25 million oil bill due today and that the reserves could run out and be at a minus if the bill was paid.

"If it reached minus, today the reserve reached a minus because of the USD 25 million oil bill. That payment cannot be delayed," the source said.

The usable dollar reserve is the money kept by the government to pay off loans and spend on essential imports. The reserve consists of dollar revenue received by the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA), grants received by the state and budget support.

The reserve is also used to send money needed to cover the expenses of students studying abroad and dollars sold to Maldivians travelling overseas. It is also used to issue dollars to banks and government companies.

According to the latest data released by the MMA, usable reserves fell to USD 43 million at the end of July.

Experts who spoke to Adhadhu said the Sovereign Development Fund (SDF) may have to be used when there is no way to meet the expenses when the state's dollar reserves run out.

However, both the government and the MMA deny the possibility of facing that situation. The Finance Ministry and the MMA told some local media outlets that the situation would not worsen and that the reserves would stabilize before the end of the month.

Could be a precondition.

 

[Shan]

Could be a precondition.

I hope it happens to be. A repercussion that is visible in the media goes a long way for setting the narrative of resumption of ties. It is also needed. Support, freebies, and grants should come with basic mutual respect. This something that all Asian countries should practice in their diplomacy.
