'Indian Troops Must Leave': Pro-China Maldivian Pres-elect Plans To Kick Out 70 Personnel

Maldives President-elect Mohamed Muizzu claimed in an interview with Bloomberg News that his country has started negotiations with India to remove its military presence. He said, “We want a bilateral relationship that’s mutually beneficial. Indian soldiers would not be replaced by troops from other countries. Asking India to remove military personnel in no way indicates that I’m going to allow China or any other country to bring their military troops here.” There are nearly 70 Indian military personnel in Maldives currently.
