According to the Office of the President of Maldives, Deputy Minister Sun Haiyan met with Maldives President Mohammed Muizzu on Monday. The Chinese leader stressed the implementation of the agreements signed during Muizzu’s recent visit to Beijing.
He said that the Chinese government is keen to enhance strategic cooperation between the two countries.
Let us tell you that the pro-China Muizzu was elected President of Maldives by defeating the pro-India Mohammad Salih in the elections held in September.
Although previous Presidents of the Maldives chose India for their first official visit, Muizzu broke with tradition and visited China between January 8 and 12.
At least 20 agreements were signed between the two countries during the visit.
