Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu said on Sunday that the Indian government has agreed to withdraw its soldiers from the island nation.
Hours later, sources in New Delhi said the issue was briefly discussed in Dubai where he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussions on how to keep the Indian helicopters and operational aircraft were “ongoing” and “the core group that both sides have agreed to set up will look at details of how to take this forward”.
“In the discussions we had, the Indian government has agreed to remove Indian soldiers,” Muizzu told reporters in Male. “We also agreed to set up a high level committee to solve issues related to development projects.” Muizzu made the remarks following engagements on the sidelines of the COP28 climate summit.
