India donates 25 250 million to Maldives, Maldives in trouble over Corona

- China can get chili

New Delhi Dated 21st September 2020 Monday

India on Sunday provided 25 250 million to the Maldives, which is experiencing economic hardship following the Corona epidemic. However, this could make China chilly.

Like other neighboring countries, China has been investing heavily in the Maldives. China's contribution to the Maldives' total foreign capital investment is said to be more than 70 per cent. The Maldives has a strategic location in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives is expected to play a key role, especially if war breaks out between the two countries.

Under these circumstances, China's dominance in the Maldives needed to be reduced. India gave મા 250 million to the Maldives, so China's eyebrows were likely to be raised. Applauding India's assistance, Maldivian President Ibrahim Solih wrote on Twitter, "India has always been at the forefront when the Maldives needs a friend. Many thanks to the people of India, Prime Minister Shri Modi and others. He showed generosity and generosity by helping આજે 25 million today. '

Maldives Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid also thanked India on social media for its help. The Maldives economy is based on tourism. The Coca-Cola-laden lockdown hit the Maldives travel industry hard. During a virtual meeting between Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdullah Shahid in August this year, India announced 25 250 million in aid to the Maldives. Shahid said the whole world was facing an invisible enemy. This enemy forced everyone to stay at home. But even in such a difficult time, our friends proved that the doors of their hearts are not closed. Even during these difficult times, India maintained friendship.

Maldives President Ibrahim Solih sought India's help. In response, Prime Minister Modi provided this assistance. The interest rate on the loan was kept very low and the loan was given for a period of ten years.
